On Day 1, you will learn how to:

• Make learning to read focused and fun
• Use picture mnemonics to teach children to read and write 30 sounds in 2 months
• Teach blending for reading and segmenting for spelling
• Personalize tutoring for any child with just 5-10 minutes a day
• Increase the speed of children’s word reading
• Embed comprehension from the very beginning of teaching reading
• Assess and group students to ensure instruction is taught in homogeneous groups according to their ‘reading stage, not their age’
• Order resources easily to support your teachers and parents.

On Day 2, you will learn how to:

• Continue to make learning to read focused and fun with storybooks matched to the sounds children know so they develop accuracy, speed and confidence
• Use our unique 'three reads' approach to ensure that children love the story and can read it proudly with fluency and expression at home
• Ensure that speaking and listening is at the heart of teaching
• Provide the tools for your children to become confident writers: by the end of first grade children can write at length using ambitious vocabulary and good spelling
• Pick up struggling readers and writers straight away with personalized tutoring
• Embed consistent management strategies that speed up progress and ensure 100% participation.

Who should attend:

This workshop is open to teachers, tutors, school/district leaders, and parents seeking fresh, research-based ways to teach reading effectively, efficiently, and enthusiastically. Pre-K teachers looking for child-friendly ways to start their reading instruction at age 4 and any teachers teaching ELL students would also greatly benefit from this workshop.
