Good Communication Can Be Taught

In primary school, it is of great value that young children learn to communicate. In England, children are taught in levels that stress communication lessons and activities, like discussion groups and role- playing. All knowledge levels deal primarily with speaking and listening, but also include reading and writing. English Key Stage 2, known also as English KS2, is the second of two levels. This second level is more in depth than the previous key stage in terms of expectations of what the children will learn. For example, children are taught to vary their speech to adhere to specific situations, such as speaking to an audience or one on one, as opposed to just speaking clearly, as taught in English KS1. Once this second key stage is complete, pupils grasp communication, which enables the students to explain themselves and the world around them in a way that can be understood.
