Learning outcomes

Advantages of this course

• It is not just SEND students who are falling behind in basic literacy skills. The latest government research focuses on the need to improve literacy throughout primary and secondary school. The practical solutions, games, and ideas suggested in this course can be applied to any setting. Good teaching for SEND is good teaching for all.
• Learning to be ‘literate’ is not linear and students may show immense skill in some areas and severe delay in others. This course explains the importance of keeping the individual student at the forefront of your mind, and how best to keep activities and lessons motivating for students who are struggling.
• This course suggests reading, research, and additional information that will provide practical information and expand knowledge.
• Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning

On successful completion of this course, you will receive a Laser e-Certificate (included in the course price). You will also have the option of purchasing an NCFE CACHE endorsed e-Certificate for an additional £4.99.
