Description

Reading Champion Conference

Tuesday 17th November 2015, 8:45am arrival for a 9am start

The focus of the November conference will be around the sharing of good practice with a particular emphasis on the WiT funded school-based reading projects. The purpose of each showcase will be for delegates think about the effective approaches other schools have taken around their targeting and implementation.

Showcases include;

Primary:

- Use of alternative reading materials

- Fictional Library development

- Parental engagement

- Inspiration intervention focused on boys – Premier League Reading Stars

Secondary:

- Planning and implementation of Library Services for Education

- Support for New Arrivals and EAL students

- Intervention coordination

On this occasion primary and secondary will be showcased separately to ensure relevant content for all participants. However should delegates wish to attend a particular showcase they will be invited to do so.

All delegates will be asked to do some pre-thinking around their own projects and prepare some light touch feedback and questions for referencing during informal discussions.

Other agenda items include WiT and Library Updates along with the launch of the 2014 – 15 Leicester City Writing Competition book which will be gifted to schools for their libraries.

Schools are invited to bring up to 3 members of staff however should you require additional places, please email me on Ellen.Lee@Sdsa.net

All the best,

Ellen Lee
