Kita and school: improvement of language support in the Freyung district!

In the district office Freyung, a group of 50 specialists from primary schools and kindergartens recently met to discuss challenges and success in language support together. This event, which was organized by the cooperation officer Alexandra Bauer and the pedagogical consultant Alexandra Stadler, in particular pursued the goal of optimizing the transition from kindergarten to school. In the current discussion, the new, central language tests, which have been introduced since this year, were also reported muw-nachrichten

A central concern of the discussion was to find out that there are different requirements for the language stakehes in kindergarten and primary school. In the course of this, an urgent appeal to the responsible bodies was formulated in order to better coordinate the instruments and requirements. In this way, the language stand surveys can be implemented more efficiently and targeted and the basis for suitable funding offers such as the preliminary course German 240.

innovations in language support

The changes due to the new law on the introduction of binding language stand surveys also came to language. This new regulation now stipulates that the language level of all children is recorded before school enrollment, including those children who are not looked after in a day care center. The primary schools are required to raise the language stand 1.5 years before schooling through a language screening, which will be carried out for the first time in March 2025, such as stmas.bayern.de

Particular attention is paid to the "Bavarian language screening of the individual language promotion - basis", which was presented in the event. The parents have the opportunity to register their children for this screening from the coming year, unless they can submit a written explanation of the day care center that there is no need for increased language support. In these cases, however, parents of children with identified language support are obliged to attend the corresponding day care center with an integrated preliminary course German. This is seen as a great opportunity to give the children the best possible linguistic education.

supportive measures for language support

Another focus of the event was the "Bavarian language screening", which is considered a prerequisite for childcare facilities. Interested parties can access the digital short versions of the observation instruments Sismik and Seldak free of charge via the IFP website. These instruments should not only be used for language support, but are also of considerable benefits for development discussions and individual planning.

Alexandra Bauer emphasized the need for an appreciative contact between the cooperation partners in order to promote the linguistic development of children with support. Anna Petrilak-Weissfeld from the State Institute for Early Pedagogy and Media Competence was able to show practical materials such as books, games and dolls for language support how language acquisition can be supported in concrete terms. The event impressively underlined how important the exchange and cooperation in this area are.
