Helping children remember the words they want to say 

Our Lightning lesson Helping children remember words explores some ways we can support children to remember and use the words they want to say. We sometimes call this ‘word finding’. This lesson will build your confidence to support children who struggle to remember the words they need to learn and use in the classroom.
