Literacy for Learning
Literacy for Learning helps students develop the literacy skills they need to do well at school and in their future lives.
We work with teachers and literacy leaders to develop a range of approaches to support reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our online training sessions led by literacy consultants are available to all schools nationwide. We also work more closely with schools participating in the programme, who receive training, consultancy and resources, working collaboratively to identify priorities and embed sustainable approaches school-wide.
Online training sessions
Our online training sessions led by our literacy consultants are available for a small fee to all schools, whether or not they participate in the Literacy for Learning programme.
