Breakout Session—Making writing not just fun, but better.

In this interactive workshop Dr Ian Hunter will demonstrate practical teaching methods for engaging students in writing and improving fluency, accuracy, and lifting  confidence.

Linda Cheer – Director of Longworth Education

Keynote:  Putting the Joy back into Teaching Literacy

Have we become disconnected with how children learn and what motivates children to read and write? Linda Cheer will challenge us to reflect on how we teach literacy.

She will discuss current pedagogy, revisit evidence based practice and outline how we can put the joy back into our teaching of literacy.

Breakout Session —Literacy in a Play Based Classroom.

• How play develops literacy skills.
• The Teachers Role
• Maintaining a balanced programme.
• The Classroom as the third Teacher.
