We know the work Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) undertake is vital in engaging and supporting pupils in the classroom.

This focused series of 10 webinars equips LSAs with practical tools to support oracy and writing across EYFS and Key Stages 1 & 2.

Each session builds essential skills—from oral language and sentence construction to genre awareness and targeted interventions.

Through this series of webinars LSAs will:

• Develop expertise in how to inspire creativity through talk and play
• Scaffold sentence-building, and apply techniques like oral rehearsal and vocabulary expansion

By the end of this series of webinars LSAs will feel confident to help pupils become expressive, accurate, and purposeful writers.
