This practical workshop will help you understand the basics of a Structured Approach to Literacy. We'll look at the key parts of how kids learn to read – from understanding sounds in words (phonological awareness) and how letters make those sounds (phonics), right through to reading smoothly, building vocabulary, and understanding stories.

You'll get a clear picture of why certain teaching methods work and how you can support them. This is about giving you the tools and confidence to help individual children or small groups effectively, especially those needing that extra boost.
