New Course Announcement:

Launch: July 27th 2020, register now

FREE Webinar guide to the course and live questions:

This 18-hour, 6-module course is the answer to the “what next?” question on the lips of many schools who have got their children into basic reading and writing.

Comprising six comprehensive modules, alongside tried and true teaching methods to get everyone excelling, this hands-on, engaging workshop is designed to raise teacher capacity to ensure mastery of the principles of structured literacy for all students.

Language Arts helps a teacher use up to date, research-based information about how we learn. It then helps them to apply that knowledge to imparting vital knowledge about how English writing works.

The Language Arts approach has a clear scope and sequence from Foundation-6 and dovetails well with any high quality systematic synthetic phonics program.

It is laid out using a direct, explicit approach with worked examples and incorporates robust teaching techniques designed to reduce cognitive load and increase retention.

It comes with resources and equipment for immediate application in the classroom.

COURSE FORMAT:

Online. A mix of live Zoom meetings and Open Learning modules.

COST: AUD$650 + GST, Places limited.

Conferences and events: COVID-19 UPDATE

For the months of May, June and July 2020, Lyn will be postponing all speaking events in an effort to do our part in containing the virus as best we can.

We will continue to update regarding new dates and events in May and June, one week at a time.

To help soften the blow, Lyn will be offering FREE webinars in the coming weeks and will be making those webinars free to view afterwards in a series of talks about spelling, grammar and writing.

We also have plans to conduct smaller, free tutoring sessions for students on a variety of topics.

You can find all the links to the free webinars here. There are also slides and handouts.
