"I look forward to using resources such as the noun phrase jigsaw. I am going to be sharing this training with other teachers and I have a lot of ideas about how we can consistently approach these sequences."

Kayleigh, Malmesbury Primary School, Autumn 2023

One Day Online Course

A whole-day year-specific course covering practical strategies for using high-quality children's literature as the primary approach to the teaching of English. This course is ideal for people who are new to Literacy Tree or changing to another year group.

This course will –

Identify how the Teach through a Text approach engages children as writers and immerses them in a literary world
Share examples of quality texts and well planned sequences used successfully in primary schools
Explore the progression of skills within the National Curriculum
Model how grammar, spelling and vocabulary contribute to a range of purposeful writing opportunities
Demonstrate how shared writing is effective within a sequence of lessons
Walk through the website and explore what a membership will look like

Exemplification Text

The course covers the pedagogy and the approach but one section of the day exemplifies this using a focus text and goes through each aspect. The book we will be exemplifying with is Our Tower by Joseph Coelho. We will be looking at this online but if you prefer to have a physical copy, please purchase in advance.

"I particularly enjoyed the examples of work, confirmation of flexibility rather than a strict schedule, and useful resource ideas."

Emma, Asterdale Primary School, Autumn 2023

"I found the bank of ideas that were shared and the brilliant model of how to use these resources interactively, extremely useful."

Rose, Holy Cross School, Autumn 2023

"I valued the section about Writing Roots where the consultant modelled ideas and demonstrated how they'd be used."

Zachary, St Stephen's Catholic Primary School and Nursery, Autumn 2023
