The staff that work with the children featured in “The Gingerbread Man” (Open University, 2017) support the children and remove the barriers to their learning in a variety of ways. The first way they do this is in the teaching assistant’s specialist ability to speak the children’s mother tongue. This will make the children feel at ease and know they have a way to express themselves, even if it is not in English.

In “The Gingerbread Man” (Open University, 2017) we see the teaching assistant first reading the story with the children in a fun and interactive way.
