Let’s start at the very beginning: writing – a twilight!
A quick-fire one-hour session sharing practical ideas, resources and strategies supporting the development of early writing skills.
20 May: 4 pm – 5 pm with Carol Allen!
For many learners with complex, neurodiverse, or sensory needs, engaging with the writing process means laying solid foundations that support the development of early writing behaviours.
Carol will show how to spark engagement with writing through accessible, inclusive strategies that link physical, sensory and cognitive readiness.
This quick-fire session will be practical, and you’ll leave with simple ideas that can be used throughout the day and across the curriculum to help your learners develop writing with purpose.
Carol will look at:
What is ‘writing readiness’
Creating the right environment for writing to emerge
Quick-fire practical strategies to get learners writing (in their own way)
Helping learners understand that writing has purpose
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.
