Join the Outwood English Hub for two informative sessions exploring phonics for special educational needs led by Ann Sullivan!
Ann originally trained as a mainstream primary teacher, and has worked as a mainstream secondary learning support teacher, a special school teacher, a SENCO and an advisory teacher for SEND. Ann is the author of the Phonics for Pupils with Special Educational Needs programme published by Speechmark Routledge in 2018 and now works as a literacy consultant focusing on pupils with moderate to severe and complex needs.
Session 1 - Tuesday 21st June (1.00pm - 3.00pm)
Session 2 - Tuesday 28th June (1.00pm - 3.00pm)
Both sessions will take place via Google Meet.
Session 1:
Learning to Read (and Spell)
What do we teach our pupils with more than mild SEND?
In this first session we will examine the SEND context and answer these questions:
Why do teachers in mainstream schools need to understand how to meet the needs of pupils with moderate to severe and complex needs, aren’t these pupils in special schools?
What do we teach pupils with moderate to severe and complex needs when we teach them to read and spell?
Session 2:
Learning to Read (and Spell)
How do we teach our pupils with more than mild SEND?
In this second session we answer these questions:
How do we teach pupils with moderate to severe and complex needs to read and spell? What programmes do we use?
How do we make our teaching accessible for pupils with a range of SEND? What strategies enable access?
Please note: This event is fully funded by the Department for Education.
