FREE! Literacy For All – Lexonic CPD session, April 2026
Following on from our recent introductory Literacy for All sessions – we hope you found our key takeaways useful.
If you haven’t yet registered for the upcoming deep dive CPD webinars, you’ll find further details below, along with a link to sign up at the end. We hope you can join us for all four sessions that promise to be packed with practical ideas and strategies to take straight back to your classroom.
The question many leaders are asking is: How do we build a literacy strategy that works—for every learner, in every classroom?” Too often, literacy developments can feel fragmented, focusing on one specific area of literacy need, but not providing a 360 solution. The Literacy for All team are here to present you with exactly that. A joined up 360 approach to literacy development across your school.
Individually, each of these approaches below is powerful. But together, they form something much more impactful—a connected literacy strategy that supports the whole child.
Lexonic: 28th April, 12PM BST / 3pm GST
Join Sarah Ledger for a deep dive into effective reading interventions for older students. Covering each of the 5 Pillars of Reading we will focus on using data effectively, closing gaps quickly, developing fluency and building vocabulary.
Lexonic – dedicated to transforming literacy education by training teachers to deliver powerful, evidence-based reading interventions. Our programmes focus on developing foundation knowledge in reading, with a specific focus on targeted support for older learners.
Pobble: 5th May, 12PM BST / 3pm GST
In Simon’s session, he will share ten ideas for improving writing in your school. The journey will begin by looking at ways to inspire children to write and end with thoughts on how to create a real audience and purpose. Simon will also share a short demo of Pobble and explain how schools are using Pobble 365 to support their existing writing plans.
Pobble is passionate about helping every child find their voice as a writer, expressing creativity, identity, and understanding. We supports schools with high-quality, engaging writing resources and platforms that motivate students to write with purpose.
Widgit: 12th May, 12PM BST / 3pm GST
Join Rebecca to explore 9 reasons to use symbols to support Literacy for All. We will look at how symbols support understanding, reduce cognitive load, develop literacy skills, and promote inclusion and independence for all learners. The session will also demonstrate how quick and easy it is to create a symbol‑supported Pobble word mat in Widgit Online, showing how symbols can be seamlessly embedded into everyday classroom practice.
Widgit believe that understanding should never be a barrier to participation. Their work centres on making language accessible through the use of symbols – supporting anyone who needs visual scaffolds to engage with reading, writing, and communication, including but not limited to Pupils of Determination, BML and early readers.
