Learning to read matters for every child or young person. 

This DfE funded programme explores the appropriate teaching, support, and provision for the lowest-attaining children in reading, with a particular focus on those with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Delivered over five half-day sessions, the programme will: 

• Help delegates identify the causes of current gaps in attainment for pupils with SEND and their underperforming peers

• Offer practical guidance on how to use validated SSPs programmes successfully

• Help to improve reading of the slowest progress children

This programme has been developed by drawing on expert advice from disability charities, leading academics, the EEF, validated SSPs, school leaders, Ofsted, the reading framework and the SEND code of practices.

Join us on 2nd July 2024 at 3.30pm for our Free 30 minute briefing session for more information on the programme.

Alternatively, schools can sign up below to express an interest in joining this programme.

Ofsted identify that the communication and language skills a child has by the age of 5 years old can predict their future success in life. In fact, by the age of 5, children with below age-related communication and language skills are six times more likely to need additional support in English by year 6.

Wensum English Hub are delighted to present our DfE funded Supporting Early Language Development Programme.  This FREE 6 session programme, run over the course of the year, will equip delegates with the skills, knowledge to identify children who may not be meeting language skills at ARE. In addition, the course will provide practical classroom skills and techniques for quality first teaching of language and vocabulary in YR and KS1. Delegates will gain an understanding of a working model of language development through the primary years.
