Cumulative talk is co operative talk and can lead to knowledge construction through the sharing of ideas. It is limited from an educational point of view in that it does not produce critically grounded knowledge. Its real value is that it promotes group/whole class harmony whilst allowing ground rules for the more meaningful exploratory talk to become established. It also has the added benefit of allowing pupils to increase in confidence as they speak without being challenged at first. | |||

* Everyone simply accepts and agrees with what other people say. | |||
* Children do use talk to share knowledge, but they do so in an uncritical way. | |||
* Children repeat and elaborate each other's ideas, but they don't evaluate them carefully. | |||
