How to boost students’ acquisition of technical language in the science classroom
When you support students with SEND inclusively, you support all your students’ learning. This series of articles takes that approach to four areas – literacy, numeracy, manipulative skills and executive function skills. This first article focuses on literacy. It looks at how you can support students with special education needs and difficulties in their acquisition and use of the technical language of science. It offers strategies to help your students overcome any literacy challenges they may encounter in the science classroom by improving their technical vocabulary and thus overall understanding of and performance in the subject.
