SUMMARY:FREE! Everway Literacy Event - Abu Dhabi\, November 2025
DESCRIPTION:A complete strategy. A connected solution. A day that changes how you lead literacy.\nAcross classrooms in the UAE\, literacy leads are being asked to raise standards\, drive outcomes\, and close gaps – often in the face of growing complexity. \nFrom early readers to reluctant writers\, multilingual learners to those with additional needs\, the challenge is clear: how do we build a literacy strategy that works for everyone? \nThis high-impact workshop brings together four leading organisations – Everway\, Widgit\, Pobble and Lexonik to offer a 360° view of inclusive literacy that’s practical\, powerful and proven to make a difference. \nYou’ll hear from experts across all areas of reading and writing. From vocabulary and fluency to comprehension and expression\, and explore how a connected\, inclusive approach can unlock progress across every key stage. You’ll discover how to support diverse learners\, including Students of Determination and BML\, using tools and strategies that empower without overwhelming. \nMost importantly\, you’ll leave with the clarity to lead literacy in your own context. You’ll gain the essential components of an inclusive\, whole-school approach – ready to plug directly into your leadership and curriculum so every learner can thrive. \nYou’ll leave with inspiration\, but you’ll also leave with powerful\, flexible strategies and ideas – a complete approach to literacy that you can adapt and build into your own plans\, whatever your setting. \nThis is more than CPD. It’s a shift in thinking. Book your place. Lead with impact. \nMonday 10th November\, 1-4pm\, The British School Al Khubairat\, Abu Dhabi \nRegistration page: https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/literacy-for-all-4668873 \n  \n  \nDisclaimer \nThis training is organised by an external organisation and Louise Dawson Professional Development and Management Training cannot accept any liability or responsibility for the content or quality of the training. \nPayment is made directly with the external training partner and any conversation about delivery of the training\, payment\, refunds\, etc should be addressed directly to the external company. \nIf you have concerns about any content of the training then please let us know so we can raise them with the training provider on behalf of all delegates/attendees.
