Aim: As part of a series of webinars aimed at providing you with in-depth expert insight into the early years learning goals (ELGs), this webinar will explore the speaking ELG. The webinar will identify the criteria that this ELG sets out, offering practical guidance on recognising children’s current ability against the criteria and how practitioners can support them further by enriching provision. 

Why this webinar’s important: Early learning goals, as set out by the EYFS statutory framework, identify ‘the level of development children should be expected to have reached by the end of the EYFS’. As such, EYFS practitioners must understand the purpose and expectations of each ELG and identify ways to support and assess the children in their setting in relation to these goals.
