Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for core vocabulary Extension: Extend toward sounds and pronunciation once core vocabulary is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising core vocabulary.

Later outcome: Key Stage 3 Modern foreign languages - Stretch core vocabulary toward Key Stage 3 Modern foreign languages once evidence is transferable.

Representative problem: Complete one short Foreign languages task using core vocabulary and explain one step.
