Aim: This webinar will provide you with expert guidance on delivering an information-carrying words (ICW) approach to accelerate young children’s communication and language skills. It will explain the concept of ICW, and how it can be used to develop children’s ability to understand and follow instructions. The webinar is particularly suitable for SENCOs and teaching and nursery assistants delivering language interventions in early years and key stage 1.

Why this webinar is important: The impact of a succession of lockdowns and lack of socialisation on young children’s communication and language is still being keenly felt. ICW is a commonly used model in speech therapy which nurseries and early years settings can practise to help children meet the comprehension demands of instructions, whilst fulfilling the statutory requirements of the DfE’s ‘EYFS statutory framework’.
