The Tongue Fu Talking materials and resources have been very helpful. The staff have watched part of the CPD video, following an introductory session that I led using the materials. I set questions to ensure that they were engaging with the video. We have implemented aspects of 'stance' into our poetry reading lessons. We have also added 'but, because, so' sentence work as part of our 'check for understanding' tools across foundation subjects.
Our Oracy Inset day, based around Tongue Fu Talking, was well received with much enthusiasm evident. Teachers are finding the resources accessible and easy to incorporate into our provision. Already, it is evident within the classroom that, thanks to our initial steps to implementing the Tongue Fu Talking System (including the really useful 12-month implementation plan), the importance of Oracy is at the forefront of our thinking when planning and teaching.
I really enjoy using the Tongue Fu website and the oracy and metacognition strategies it offers. It provides a wealth of high-quality resources that are not only useful but also exciting and engaging. Everything is clearly laid out, making it incredibly easy to navigate and find exactly what I need. The way the scheme pulls everything together is fantastic- it gives a clear structure while still allowing flexibility. It’s obvious a lot of thought has gone into making it practical and enjoyable to use. I highly recommend it!
Our recent Tongue Fu Talking launch went really well - I followed your suggestions exactly and everyone was fully on board. Staff have already started using it in lessons and weaving it into our school culture. Thank you.
It was fantastic to hear about how a system should be embedded within a school setting. I loved hearing about Tongue Fu Talking and am extremely interested in purchasing for the next academic year. 100/100!

Thank you, Chris, for a thought provoking day around Oracy. The resources are brilliant and provide the tools to develop a more formal approach to champion Oracy across our school.

Thank you so much - as usual, today has been thought-provoking from start to finish. I'll definitely be using the vocabulary games as starter activities next week, and I will be introducing the Think-aloud Crowd across the curriculum to help children use metacognitive strategies in their learning.
This has been so useful with lots of great ideas to try out, thankyou.
Very clear diagrams, explained well. 10/10
