Description
Why should I attend?
Teaching Assistants will become highly skilled literacy experts who are able to:
- deliver high-quality, high-impact intervention to pupils working below age related expectations.
- deliver high quality support for literacy in the classroom.
It is essential that attendees are passionate about literacy and have experience of working in KS1.
To ensure maximum impact, they will need to be allocated with at least an hour a day to:
- plan the intervention

The 1:1 teaching structure of the Early Literacy Skills programme is proven to:
- reduce the need for costly SEND intervention by supporting pupils to secure essential skills in literacy;
- improve pupil confidence and self-esteem;
- improve attendance;
- support parental engagement.
