SUMMARY:FREE! Literacy For All - Everway CPD session\, May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Following on from our recent introductory Literacy for All sessions – we hope you found our key takeaways useful. \nIf you haven’t yet registered for the upcoming deep dive CPD webinars\, you’ll find further details below\, along with a link to sign up at the end. We hope you can join us for all four sessions that promise to be packed with practical ideas and strategies to take straight back to your classroom. \nThe question many leaders are asking is: How do we build a literacy strategy that works—for every learner\, in every classroom?” Too often\, literacy developments can feel fragmented\, focusing on one specific area of literacy need\, but not providing a 360 solution. The Literacy for All team are here to present you with exactly that. A joined up 360 approach to literacy development across your school. \nIndividually\, each of these approaches below is powerful. But together\, they form something much more impactful—a connected literacy strategy that supports the whole child. \n  \n Lexonic:  28th April\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nJoin Sarah Ledger for a deep dive into effective reading interventions for older students.  Covering each of the 5 Pillars of Reading we will focus on using data effectively\, closing gaps quickly\, developing fluency and building vocabulary. \nLexonic – dedicated to transforming literacy education by training teachers to deliver powerful\, evidence-based reading interventions. Our programmes focus on developing foundation knowledge in reading\, with a specific focus on targeted support for older learners. \n  \n Pobble: 5th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nIn Simon’s session\, he will share ten ideas for improving writing in your school. The journey will begin by looking at ways to inspire children to write and end with thoughts on how to create a real audience and purpose. Simon will also share a short demo of Pobble and explain how schools are using Pobble 365 to support their existing writing plans. \nPobble is passionate about helping every child find their voice as a writer\, expressing creativity\, identity\, and understanding. We supports schools with high-quality\, engaging writing resources and platforms that motivate students to write with purpose. \n  \n Widgit:  12th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nJoin Rebecca to explore 9 reasons to use symbols to support Literacy for All. We will look at how symbols support understanding\, reduce cognitive load\, develop literacy skills\, and promote inclusion and independence for all learners. The session will also demonstrate how quick and easy it is to create a symbol‑supported Pobble word mat in Widgit Online\, showing how symbols can be seamlessly embedded into everyday classroom practice. \nWidgit believe that understanding should never be a barrier to participation. Their work centres on making language accessible through the use of symbols – supporting anyone who needs visual scaffolds to engage with reading\, writing\, and communication\, including but not limited to Pupils of Determination\, BML and early readers. \nGet more details about Widgit here \n  \n Everway:  19th May\, 12PM BST / 3pm GST\nCarrie-Anne and Paddy will share five practical strategies to use technology to remove barriers to literacy\, improve access to text\, and include every learner. Through the lens of Read&Write\, you’ll see how to support a wide range of needs across pupils of determination\, with targeted strategies for those with dyslexia and ADHD. You’ll leave with a clear plan\, a proven approach\, and the confidence to use a tool that is necessary for some\, useful for all\, across every literacy level and setting. \nEverway – provides accessible learning tools that work everywhere. Supporting over 250 million learners worldwide\, products like Read&Write\, OrbitNote and ExamWritePad remove barriers caused by difference\, disability or language. Their mission is to help everyone understand and be understood through tools that are necessary for some\, useful for all. \nGet more details about Everway here \n  \nIf you can’t make the session do still register as we will make a recording of the webinars available after the event. \nClick to register for any of these sessions…\n \nRegistration link for all 4 sessions\, to copy and paste or share on socials: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/5317751415238/WN_brQPkf7fRei6bD_ncwm-LA \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.

A digital approach makes support more consistent and efficient\, reduces staffing strain and embeds exam support into everyday learning. When used routinely\, this approach becomes necessary for some\, useful for all. \nYou’ll leave with practical clarity and the confidence to implement digital access arrangements in your own exam rooms. You’ll also have the opportunity to put your questions directly to Laura and Alan in a live Q&A. \nWhat you’ll learn\n\nHow to streamline the setup and management of reader and scribe arrangements\nWhat compliant Computer Reader and Computer Scribe support looks like in practice\nHow secure Word Processing can be delivered in line with JCQ regulations\nHow to reduce reliance on staff-heavy models without increasing risk\nHow digital tools can build greater student independence in the exam room\n\nWho should attend?\n\nExams Officers\nSENCOs\nSchool leaders responsible for access arrangements\nSchool IT and network managers supporting exam delivery\n\nSpeakers\n\nLaura O’Hare\, Business Development Manager at Everway\nJugjit Chima\, Chief Executive Officer\, National Association of Examinations Officers\nAlan Sharpe\, Team Lead\, Sales Development at Everway\n\nSpeaker profiles \n  \n \nRegistration link to copy and paste into your browser or share on socials: https://www.everway.com/en-gb/webinars/exams-masterclass-2026/ \n  \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.

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.
