ETIH Editor Emma Cate Stokes to release The Power of Words in November for Early Years and KS1 teachers
We are incredibly proud to announce that our editor, Emma Cate Stokes, will release her debut book, The Power of Words, on 11th November 2024.
Available now for pre-order on Amazon, this is a must-have resource for EYFS and Key Stage One teachers focusing on language development and communication.
The Power of Words is designed to help teachers equip young learners with the vocabulary they need to express themselves confidently. With a strong emphasis on oracy, the book provides practical strategies to support language development in the classroom, making it an ideal companion for teachers who want to ensure their students don’t just learn words but use them effectively in everyday interactions.
The book is also an invaluable resource for senior leadership teams and English leads who want a clearer understanding of how explicit vocabulary lessons can be effectively implemented school-wide.
It provides actionable insights into embedding language-rich environments that foster communication skills from an early age, a crucial element in tackling speech and language deficits.
Recent data shows that speech and language issues are a growing concern in early years and KS1. According to the Education Endowment Foundation, communication and language approaches have a significant impact, typically advancing young children’s learning by an average of seven months.
The Power of Words is perfect for EYFS and KS1 teachers, speech and language therapists, SLT, and anyone involved in early childhood education who is passionate about developing strong communication skills in young children.
Here at ETIH, we couldn’t be prouder of Emma and this incredible achievement. We’ve seen firsthand the dedication and passion she has poured into The Power of Words, and we’re certain that her insights will be an invaluable tool for teachers and school leaders across the UK and beyond.
