The Literacy Conference 2018, London
Friday 09 March, 09:00 - 15:30
Literacy will always be a key focus for schools; how we can improve it, how we can identify and support those with difficulties, how we can close the gap between those from disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure equal opportunities for all - and all with ever increasing budget restraints.
Join us at our Literacy conferences in London (9 March) where you will hear from literacy experts about:
- Key national trends, concerns and successes
- Practical strategies for improving reading and spelling skills
- What other schools are doing to achieve success in reading and spelling
- How to evaluate the impact of any intervention strategy
- What assessment data can highlight in terms of a learner’s strengths and areas for development
- The simple views of reading and writing: frameworks for effective teaching
You will also be able to see our new termly edition of the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) and New Group Spelling Test (NGST) which offer:
- Termly testing for reading and spelling
- Practical guidance for teaching and learning
- Tests available on tablet or PC - with instant reports
- The only adaptive spelling and reading tests (questions will adjust based on each pupil's answers)
- A reliable and consistent method of monitoring progress from 6-14+ years
- A standardised score - giving you a national benchmark
Watch our webinar with Shareen Mayers speaking about the implications for teaching and learning of the New Group Spelling Test (NGST).
