Strengthening Literacy Skills in the Early Years with Sarah Quinn

Aimed at Early Years Leaders & Early Years Teachers

Training Outline Ensuring children reach the early learning goals in literacy is becoming increasingly difficult.  Over these two training days, Sarah will explore ways to excite children about reading and writing and explore effective and engaging ways for you to teach literacy skills. 
Throughout this training, you will have the opportunity to talk to colleagues, and to evaluate your curriculum, environment and teaching to support literacy in early years.
