This module sits primarily within the education strand of BA Childhood and Youth Studies and also considers the social and psychological aspects of communication, language and literacy development in line with the holistic ethos of the course. The module aims to provide a useful introduction to this fascinating area for those who are looking to work in the children's workforce. It includes practical as well as theoretical ideas with a short placement where hands-on engagement in language and literacy activities with children is encouraged.

A satisfactory knowledge and understanding of the role that families and schools play in the development of children's communication, language and literacy is evident. An adequate evaluation is made of the cross-curricular opportunities for communication, language and literacy development in a place of interest suitable for a family or school visit. A reasonable attempt is made at presenting a simple children's story using props and resources (including digital resources) appropriate for the age and developmental stage of the audience. Some differentiation is shown of how an oral presentation of a simple children's story could be adapted for children with different language skills such as bilingual / multilingual children or children with additional learning needs.
