Support children’s speaking and listening skills across your setting with these engaging Oracy Posters, designed specifically for different areas of the environment. Each poster provides simple, clear prompts to encourage children to talk, describe, question, and interact meaningfully during play and learning.
Perfect for use in areas such as the construction zone, role play, small world, creative area, and outdoor provision, the posters help adults model language while giving children accessible sentence starters and vocabulary linked to what they are doing.
Rooted in the principles of oracy and communication development (as promoted by organisations like Voice 21), these posters support children to build confidence in speaking, develop vocabulary, and engage in purposeful conversations with peers and adults.
Key features:
Area-specific language prompts (e.g. “I am building…”, “What will happen if…?”)
Visual and simple text to support understanding
Encourages back-and-forth conversation and thinking aloud
Supports early language, vocabulary development, and social interaction
Ideal for early years environments and continuous provision
A practical and effective way to embed oracy into everyday learning, helping children develop the communication skills they need to express ideas, share thinking, and connect with others.
