Language and communication
Spoken language acquisition through conversation is at the heart of all we do at Mary Hare Primary School. We aim to provide a variety of language environments in which language learning - both formal and informal - can take place.
Deaf children miss out on a huge amount of natural language learning, and it is our aim to develop their listening skills through optimum use of residual hearing. By using appropriate amplification at all times, the children have the best possible opportunity to use their residual hearing, and this effective auditory training promotes the acquisition of spoken language.
By listening, they learn to speak.
