"I enjoyed all of Pippa's training today. She was really clear and it was a good balance of listening to her explanations/models and all having a chance to take part in sharing our own experiences too!."

Charlotte, Vaughan Primary School, Autumn 2024

Half-day Online Course

A half-day year-specific course, led by Pippa, covering practical strategies for using high-quality children's literature as the primary approach to the teaching of English. This course is ideal for people who are new to Literacy Tree or changing to another year group. 

This course will –

  • Identify how a book-based approach engages children as writers and immerses them in a literary world
  • Share examples of quality texts and well planned sequences used successfully in early years settings 
  • Explore the progression of skills within the EYFS framework 

Exemplification Text

The course covers the pedagogy and the approach but one section of the day exemplifies this using a focus text and goes through each aspect. The book we will be exemplifying with is And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell. We will be looking at this online but if you prefer to have a physical copy, please purchase in advance.  

Content

  • An in-depth look at one text, a Writing Root, and an exploration of other age-appropriate books as recommended by Literacy Tree
  • We will reflect upon the focus in the framework on early language and extending vocabulary, and give share examples on how to embed and develop vocabulary skills
  • We will focus on continuous provision and show how to use shared writing to support this
  • We will look at the importance of audience and purpose and explore the importance of book-making

Participants will receive –

  • A detailed Writing Root that support the teaching of purposeful writing
  • All training resources electronically

 

"The session was very informative. I particularly enjoyed working through the Writing Root lesson by lesson and diving into the pedagogy for planning."
