Securing the Foundations for Reading with Dr Sarah Moseley (Ideally for KS2/KS3)

Strong readers are built on strong foundations.

Join Dr Sarah Moseley for a powerful series of twilight sessions exploring the essential foundations that underpin successful reading development for all children. Drawing on current research, classroom practice and evidence-informed approaches, these sessions will support schools to strengthen early language, attention, vocabulary, oral comprehension and the wider skills that enable children to become confident readers.

Research consistently highlights that successful reading development is not secured through phonics alone. Children’s language development, communication skills, background knowledge and opportunities for meaningful interaction all play a vital role in reading success. Dr Sarah Moseley will explore how schools can create the conditions that enable every child to thrive as a reader.

The sessions will explore:

Securing the foundations for reading from the earliest stages Developing language and communication alongside phonics Supporting children who struggle to access reading Creating classrooms rich in talk, vocabulary and comprehension Evidence-informed approaches that support long-term reading success
