Three Day Course

A three-day course where practical strategies for teaching through text in Reception will be explored.

Please book with confidence that all our courses will run within the guidelines of any recommendations made regarding social distancing at this point in time. We are planning to run these courses in the Literacy Tree training space which is cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis. If it is not possible to run these courses in the normal manner, we will be taking them online and will ensure any training resources, including books, are available for delegates to pick up from the space at a distance before the course takes place. Where it is not possible for a delegate to pick up their books and resources we will try our best to arrange a delivery.
