Prepare to engage, refine and showcase excellence. Grab your EYFS: Language of Learning book and over three sessions, join Julie Sherrington, co-author of this highly acclaimed book, and fellow EYFS professionals in a series of three ground-breaking and developmental CPD sessions to find out all there is to know about early language.

Early language deficits affect too many pupils on entry to nursery, reception and school settings, negatively impacting not only children’s engagement with curriculum content, but also their self-regulation and mental health.

Co-authored by Julie Sherrington and Alex Bedford, EYFS: Language of Learning explains the vital influence that physical development has on vocabulary development. The book offers practical guidance on what language development is, what to look for and how to provide support. Important cognitive and neuroscience research is clearly explained to help school settings embed the best of what we know about how children learn.

Across the three sessions, you will:

• gain an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of the book referencing the evidence that underpins it
• collaborate and engage with development tasks
• hone in on the understanding of the vestibular, proprioception and interoception senses
• ensure the practice and implementation of language development is infused and modelled across all areas of your EYFS setting
