FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “Developing Independent Writers in KS1" 1st December 2025
2025-12-01 20:00 - 20:45 (Asia/Dubai) | https://louisedawson.com/event/free-mighty-writer-cpd-webinar-developing-independent-writers-in-ks1-1st-december-2025/
Stay current with Mighty Writer’s literacy CPD webinar series.
Independence in writing doesn’t just happen. It’s something we teach, nurture, and model. When we empower children to write with confidence and ownership, we’re not just building their literacy skills – we’re building thinkers, communicators, and future learners.
It is crucial that the main objective when teaching writing is that children become independent writers – motivated and able to apply their learning accurately. Developing independent writers is a process which is started right from the beginning of a child’s time in school and requires a well thought through approach which involves sensitive teaching and an excellent understanding of how children learn and their needs.
This webinar is 45-minutes, with 30-minutes of discussions and 15-minutes of Q&A.
We hope you can join us, or please do pass on to a colleague. We will also send you a CPD certificate of completion and a recording to those who register.
Please register here for this opportunity to share best practice.

FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “ The Language Launchpad: Building Strong Foundations in Early Literacy" 12th January 2026
2026-01-12 20:00 - 20:45 | Webinar – FREE
The leap from speaking in a sentence to writing one is enormous – and for many young children, it’s the toughest challenge they’ll face in school.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how to create a powerful Language Launchpad: a structured, supportive environment where early writing skills can truly take off.
You’ll discover practical, hands-on strategies that help children internalise the structure of a story long before they pick up a pencil.
We’ll cover:
🎯 Structuring the Chaos: Transform rambling thoughts into clear, confident sentences.
🎯 Visual Literacy: Harness symbols and story mats to bridge the gap between oracy and writing.
🎯 Inclusive Foundations: Approaches that work for every learner—from chatterboxes to non-verbal communicators.
🎯 Stop the stumbles before they start. Build a foundation that lasts.

We do hope you can join us, or please do pass on to a colleague. Each webinar will be recorded for those who register along with a CPD certificate of attendance and any relevant resources to support you in the teaching of writing.
Please register here for this opportunity to share best practice.
