    What’s in a name?  Well quite a lot, actually.  And some of it is not helpful!  This webinar aims to dispel some of the myths around 'Structured Literacy' and promote a genuine research-based understanding.

    Ros will cover key principles and how they can best be applied within your school, together with some of the pitfalls to avoid – particularly with your dyslexic or other struggling learners. 

    This webinar will cover:

    • The origin and background to the term 'Structured Literacy'.
    • Core philosophy and methodology.
    • Some current misconceptions.
    • Key principles and how they can be applied for your learners.
    • An explanation of how StepsWeb aligns with structured literacy.

    There will be an opportunity to ask questions and raise discussion points.  All questions and answers will also be listed in the Q & A page after the webinar.
