3-part course based on my new book full of ideas in action from over 20 schools and organisation. These practical approaches, ideas and outcome-based strategies will be used throughout the course to guide and develop our knowledge. The course aims to create an inclusive reading curriculum framework to support the success of all learners, removing barriers to learning and promote engagement.

Part 1 Teaching Reading to All: Strategies for Progression and Success (6 Nov 2023, 9.30-11.30):
• Auditing current provision - Where to begin and the importance of high expectations.
• Building on existing good practice and confidence
• Current research – what is emphasised? What evidence is it built on?
• Creating inclusive pathways/frameworks
• Developing accessible literacy-rich environments – examples of practice and ideas in action, strategies to use right now and ways to demonstrate outcomes.

Part 2 Identifying Gaps and Ensuring Inclusivity (30 Nov 2023, 9.30-11.30):
• The role of foundation skills and understanding the teaching of reading
• Effective use of assessment to identify gaps, strengths, and next steps for all.
• Creating accessible and dynamic assessment systems – how to assess pre/nonverbal learners, older learners, and those with more complex needs.
• Examples of assessment in practice – demonstrating impact for all learners.

Part 3 Reading for All: Practical Strategies for Ensuring Inclusivity in Reading Instruction (15 Jan 2024, 9.30-11.30):
• Practical ways into planning for an inclusive reading curriculum
• Using technology to enhance your literacy curriculum, promoting motivation and engagement.
• Bringing everyone with you – why involvement of families, professionals and whole school community is key to success and ways in to achieve this.
• Ideas in action – examples of inclusive practise in action and the outcomes for all learners

The sessions will be a combination of theory and practical based approaches and provide you with the opportunity to network and share ideas with colleagues from across mainstream and special school contexts. They are based on my firm belief that every action, no matter how small can make a difference!

Please note this is a three part course series. One booking will automatically reserve a place for all three sessions.
