Alex Quigley: Strong Foundations: Language, Reading and Writing for Primary Pupils with the Greatest Need

Too many primary pupils struggle to read and write because the foundations are shaky.

This session explores how oral language, phonological awareness, vocabulary and transcription (handwriting and spelling), and sentence level writing, develop the strong literacy foundations that underpin primary school success.

The session offers practical teaching approaches, manageable assessments, and a focus on diagnosing effective intervention practices. You'll leave with practical, evidence-informed strategies to identify and support pupils with the greatest need.
