What the training will cover
This training will provide an introduction to Talk for Writing and Talk for Reading. Over three days, the course will focus on strategies for developing children as storytellers, readers and writers.
The course will be packed with tried-and-tested practical strategies based on what works. We’ll look at how to help children learn through story, how to deepen understanding and how to teach reading effectively.
The course will provide delegates with the knowledge and tools to begin developing the Talk for Writing and Talk for Reading approaches in their own school.

How the training works
Training will take place via Zoom. Each training day will be 4 hours 30 mins split into either 3 or 4 sessions with breaks. Each delegate will need their own desktop or laptop computer with a working camera. There are further details on this PDF.
Schools can send a maximum of 25 delegates to each session. You may wish to send KS1 staff to the KS1 day and KS2 staff to the KS2 day. Alternatively, you may wish for the same staff to attend all three days. We recommend that leadership attend all three days in order to understand the approach fully.
Costs
This training is for schools rather than individual teachers
As stated above, the maximum attendees from any one school is 25 people. You are can choose which 25 members of staff attend which days of training.
The total cost for 3 days is £4500. This equates to £1500 per day or £60 per day per teacher for 25 teachers
