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.
