Discovery and Live Demo:

Inductions + Refreshers:
Inductions are designed for new member schools to get started with confidence, covering the role of high-quality texts and the full suite of resources. Refresher sessions are tailored for teachers and subject leaders already using Literacy Tree who wish to revisit progression, strengthen consistency, and re-engage with key resources.
Using Writing Roots Sessions:
With a dedicated course for every year group, these half-day sessions offer an overview of our pedagogy and exemplify it with one of our chosen high-quality texts. These run termly, modeling our approach with a different book each time.
Pedagogy Workshops:
Focused deep dives into key areas of teaching practice. We run recurring sessions on spelling, oracy, reading comprehension and shared writing, whilst also adding brand new workshops each term based on our consultants’ research interests and areas of expertise.
Twilight Sessions:
Short, focused after-school sessions providing targeted support on key areas such as moderation, effective use of the Literacy Tree app, and leveraging social media to showcase and celebrate children’s writing.
English Subject Leader Sessions:
Termly opportunities to hear the latest updates from our team and connect with the wider Literacy Tree community. Expect news on upcoming resources, interactive breakout workshops, an author guest visit, and the chance to hear from other Literacy Tree schools.
