Sensory Book Club – a twilight!
A quick-fire one-hour session sharing practical ideas, resources and strategies to celebrate Word Book Day – and your own CPD journey!
24 March: 4 pm – 5 pm with Carol Allen and Chris Barson!
In our first Sensory Book Club twilight, we’ll use World Book Day as an opportunity to refresh how we use stories in ways that actually work for learners with neurodivergent and/or complex learning needs.
We will explore:
what makes a text sensory-friendly
how to turn any book/poem into a sensory topic plan
a starter list of texts and sensory resources to use straight away
In the first of our two collaborative activities will create a resource bank of ideas and practical suggestions for books, poems and short texts that lend themselves to sensory lesson planning
Our second collaborative activity will focus on suggestions for staff CPD reading – what to read or listen to – on what we’ve really enjoyed recently or what we wish more people knew about, and on creating a wish-list of relevant and practical CPD for you.
Leave with two resources:
A list of texts and sensory resources for sensory lesson planning
A list of resources for your own CPD
All resources, collaborative activity sheets and links will be available for you to download after the twilight.
Each twilight has a specific focus and will include the following:
simple and practical ideas that are easy to replicate and work
relevant resources, books, equipment and apps
how to embed activities effectively within your classroom practice
ideas to develop foundation skills or to build upon existing skills
inclusive activities for a range of learners, including those with SLD/complex needs/neurodiverse learners/autism
activities for groups or individual learners
an opportunity to ask questions of presenters/fellow attendees
You can join us live & online or watch the recording for a week after the event.
This course will be appropriate for classroom practitioners from special schools and colleges, mainstream settings with specialist SEN provision and early years settings, and working with pupils with severe/complex learning needs and autism, or both.
