This Oracy Progression Document (EYFS – Year 6) provides a clear, whole-school approach to developing high-quality speaking and listening skills across the curriculum.
It outlines a carefully sequenced progression of oracy skills, beginning in EYFS and building through to Year 6, aligned with both the EYFS framework and National Curriculum expectations. The document is structured around key strands including physical, linguistic, cognitive, and social and emotional aspects of communication, ensuring a comprehensive approach to oracy development.
Within EYFS, the document breaks down key early communication skills, including turn-taking, vocabulary development, sentence building and confidence in speaking, alongside practical teaching ideas and language stems to support classroom practice.
The inclusion of progression, teaching strategies, real-life speaking opportunities and modelled language makes this an invaluable tool for ensuring consistency and high expectations across a setting.
Ideal for EYFS Leads, English Leads and senior leaders, this resource supports Ofsted expectations, clearly demonstrating how oracy is intentionally planned, developed and embedded across the curriculum.
