Early Career Teachers - Effective Teaching of Reading, Writing and Grammar in the Primary Classroom

Audience: Early Career Teachers
Venue: Microsoft Teams
Price: £75pp (+VAT)

Reading: 08/10/26 09:15am - 12:00pm
Writing: 12/11/26 09:15am - 12:00pm
Grammar: 21/01/27 09:15am - 12:00pm

These three courses equip primary Early Career Teachers (ECTs) with the essential knowledge, skills and practical strategies to teach reading, writing and grammar effectively. It is firmly grounded in the EYFS Statutory Framework, The National Curriculum for English, The Reading Framework, The Writing Framework and current Ofsted expectations. Teachers will leave with clear, structured approaches that can be implemented immediately in daily classroom practice from EYFS and across Key Stages 1 and 2.

Course aims:

  • Develop a secure understanding of the interconnected nature of reading, writing and grammar and how they support one another

  • Build confidence in delivering systematic synthetic phonics, reading comprehension and fluency as the foundation for all literacy development

  • Strengthen knowledge of how to teach writing composition through the full writing process, with explicit modelling and high-quality mentor texts

  • Explore how to teach grammar and punctuation explicitly in context so that pupils apply it accurately and effectively in their own writing

  • Develop adaptive teaching strategies to meet the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND, EAL and those experiencing disadvantage

  • Strengthen approaches to assessment, identifying barriers, tracking progress and planning responsive next steps in reading, writing and grammar

Very clear guidance, resources were good and very helpful. Jessica answered questions in detail and was approachable.
