Day 1: Teach Through a Text

• Book choices - selecting high-quality and diverse children's literature
• Curriculum maps - how they support subject knowledge and coverage
  
  

"I enjoy watching Hannah model lessons and shared writes, as I could then see exactly how it's meant to be done."

Emily, An Daras Trust, Autumn 2024

Half-day Online Course, 1 - 4 PM

A half-day year-specific course, led by Hannah, covering practical strategies for using high-quality children's literature as the primary approach to the teaching of English.

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 Dragon Post by Emma Yarlett. We will be looking at this online but if you prefer to have a physical copy, please purchase in advance.  

Participants will receive –

• A detailed planning sequence that supports the teaching of purposeful writing
• A Zoom link to join on the day
• All training resources electronically
  
  

"I found every aspect useful and beneficial to me, especially as I am new to Literacy Tree."

Francine, Waterhall Primary School, Autumn 2024

"Seeing the journey of the book with examples, as well as a range of writing pieces (not just extended pieces) was really helpful. Also found the ideas of how to implement different hooks really useful."

Gemma, Vaughan Primary School, Autumn 2024

"It was good to hear how the lessons can be adapted to suit the needs of the class. It was reassuring to know that the outcomes are for end of year and outcomes are repeated."

Emily, Buxted Primary School, Autumn 2024
