Writing is a complex process that involves a range of skills and dispositions, it’s not really surprising that it’s one of the hardest Early Learning Goals to achieve! In this interactive session Ruth will share a wealth of research and provide practical ideas to help staff develop effective, developmentally appropriate practice that will improve children’s writing.
Delegates will leave with a range of tools and ideas to support writing development for children aged 2-6 years.
