Helping schools achieve the reading & spelling outcomes they want by providing an effective validated SSP programme staff & children will enjoy using.
Are you feeling the pressure to formally teach letters in the year before children start school? This may come from parents/carers who are under the illusion that this is what reading/writing is all about or from school colleagues who want graphemes introduced earlier. Maybe you’ve fallen into the habit of ‘letter of the week’, thinking this might be the solution. This brand new workshop, led by two experienced early years practitioners and former CLLD consultants will clarify how you can easily develop early visual discrimination skills which progress into the introduction of letters in meaningful, early years appropriate ways. The session is for practitioners working with children in the year before they start school. It will take place live online from 3.45 – 5.15pm on Thursday 7th March. You can get further details and a booking form by signing up to the newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/gepAVjbr The session will give you: # an understanding of how visual discrimination skills develop and lead to letter recognition. # an awareness of the stages involved in children learning to recognise and write their names. # a bank of early years appropriate activities you can use immediately in your settings to develop visual discimination skills, as well as name recognition and writing. # an understanding of why sound tables, ‘letter of the week’ & formal teaching of graphemes may not be the most effective ways of introducing letters to nursery aged children. Don’t miss this opportunity to finally get the clarification you’ve been looking for and the tools you need to give your learners the best possible start on their journeys to becoming readers and writers. #phase 1 #visualdiscrimination #earlyyearsphonics #phonicsinnursery
