Ros Wilson's Talk:Write
Oracy
- Speaking and listening is not oracy.
- Oracy is not just speaking and listening.
- Oracy gives us the gift of oration which is the ability to hold listeners' attention through a powerful and passionate performance.
- Oracy is one code of the many codes of speech. It is a powerful tool that you can choose to use - or not - when the moment calls for it.
Suave Words
- A suave word is our fun name for sophisticated or ambitious vocabulary.
- Our aim is to give pupils the gift of a wide and varied vocabulary so that they are empowered to make their own choices in talk and writing.
- Suave words are basic tools to enable greater success in a wider range of the subject’s requirements and should become part of the daily and weekly routines of a school.
- Over 900 free resources to support the provide the pro-active teaching of vocabulary.
