Makaton

In EYFS at New Hartley First School we introduce Makaton as a way of supporting speech development. Makaton has been shown to be useful for all sorts of people including those who struggle with understanding concepts, those who have poor literacy skills, including grammatical knowledge, and those with English as an Additional Language. By using Makaton, children and adults can take a more active part in life, because communication and language are the key to everything we do and learn. For more information about Makaton follow the link below.
