Why Closing the Word Gap Matters

'The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.' (Ludwig Wittgenstein,1921)

If you've read the Oxford Language Report Why Closing the Word Gap Matters, you'll be aware of the impact of the word gap. This is why, in partnership with Oxford University Press, we've created a collection of simple, practical, and engaging resources to help you close the word gap in your school or classroom.

If you're a senior manager, a SENDCo, a literacy leader, or any staff member with a special interest in literacy, you'll also find strategies and ideas for a whole-school policy.
