Building vocabulary in KS1 and KS2

Building Vocabulary in KS1 and KS2

Tickets: £140 for a single booking - £25 discount for National Literacy Trust premium members

Delivery: via Zoom from 9.30am - 2.30pm with a break from 11.30am - 12.30pm.

Pupils' vocabulary affects their ability to communicate and to understand the world. If you work in Key stages 1 and 2, join us for an exploration of the link between word knowledge and reading comprehension. Plus, develop your knowledge of how words work - including practical strategies for direct instruction - and learn creative ways to unlock pupils' appetite for language through indirect instruction.

What will I learn?

• Reading, vocabulary and how they work together – the research around the ‘vocabulary gap’
• Word meaning, word knowledge and word-building – exploring new language and the three-tier model
• Learning and loving new words – direct and indirect instruction
• Practical strategies for teaching vocabulary
• Reflection and further resources
