FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “ The Language Launchpad: Building Strong Foundations in Early Literacy" 12th January 2026
2026-01-12 20:00 - 20:45 (Asia/Dubai) | 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.
🔊 Speaker: Emma Ralph, Founder, Mighty Writer.
✨ Emma Ralph is a highly experienced teacher and Assistant Head with a flair for helping children to maximise their abilities.
