Mark's talk frames

Reading Talk – example of a Talk Frame

Bespoke talk frames are a great idea, and they can be created quickly with pen and paper. Here are some from Mark at Willow Tree Primary in Salford. He directs his students to use different talk frames in Reading, Spelling and Maths – with amazing effects.

Once pupils are used to them, it means they can really take ownership of the learning, including challenging and supporting each other, with very little need for teacher talk.
