You are invited to attend a free DfE funded workshop on our A Special Approach to Making it REAL, where we provide training to practitioners on how they can use the REAL approach and activities to support children with SEND.

The aim of the workshop is to provide an overview of how to support the home learning environment for families with a child with SEND, with a particular focus on early language and literacy.

In particular,

To talk about A Special Approach to Making it REAL and the early Home Learning Environment
To give an overview of the two strands of the approach which provides support to both practitioners and parents
To show how A Special Approach to Making it REAL supports practitioners in their everyday practice in settings, and in working with parents
To share examples of how simple, low cost and fun resources and activities, backed up with information and ideas, have built parents' confidence in their ability to develop their child’s early literacy

Note that the content will be similar to workshops we have held on this topic in the last year or so, no need to attend again, this is an opportunity to invite other colleagues to learn about A Special Approach to Making it REAL
