SUMMARY:FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “ The Language Launchpad: Building Strong Foundations in Early Literacy" 12th January 2026
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how to create a powerful Language Launchpad: a structured\, supportive environment where early writing skills can truly take off. \nYou’ll discover practical\, hands-on strategies that help children internalise the structure of a story long before they pick up a pencil. \nWe’ll cover: \n🎯 Structuring the Chaos: Transform rambling thoughts into clear\, confident sentences.\n🎯 Visual Literacy: Harness symbols and story mats to bridge the gap between oracy and writing.\n🎯 Inclusive Foundations: Approaches that work for every learner—from chatterboxes to non-verbal communicators.\n🎯 Stop the stumbles before they start. Build a foundation that lasts. \n  \nWe 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. \nPlease register here for this opportunity to share best practice. \n🔊 Speaker: Emma Ralph\, Founder\, Mighty Writer. \n✨ Emma Ralph is a highly experienced teacher and Assistant Head with a flair for helping children to maximise their abilities. \n✨ Emma developed the highly-acclaimed literacy resource\, Mighty Writer\, which was launched at The Education Show in 2016. \nRegistration link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/390e26b3-fe4f-48b4-b8bd-88f210a4c412@8ac6952a-ef26-4118-b781-35d616360bfc \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.
