Sail Into Sounds for 3-5 year olds: A workshop for staff
This is a workshop for staff working with children in Early Years. ‘Sail Into Sounds’ is a locally developed programme by Speech and Language Therapists in Bedfordshire and Luton. Practitioners are trained and supported by the Speech and Language Therapists to run speech sound booster groups aimed at the 3-5 year olds within their setting.
All of the ‘Sail Into Sounds’ activities focus on input skills, rather than producing sounds and promotes the embedding of speech sounds in daily routines to help support children with their speech sound development.
After the initial training session, practitioners are expected to run the group in their setting within the next term. A Speech and Language Therapist will visit your setting to support you with a least one of these sessions. You will be accredited as a ‘Sail Into Sounds practitioner’ when this has been completed.
Cost: FREE (includes pack of session plans and supporting documents)
