Tips and Tools For Supporting Early Learners

When students are at the start of their learning journey, it can be challenging for teachers to know how to put the right literacy steps in place.To talk about this important topic we're joined by Diane Snowball, a highly experienced educator who led significant change in education throughout whole school districts in the US as well as Australia.The session with Diane is from a recent Zoom Q and A session with a group of F-2 teachers at a school in Victoria, Australia. The teachers ask Diane a series of questions related to spelling and word work, but the conversation expanded into other areas of literacy, so Diane could give the context for the teaching work.Just some of the talking points include:Teaching letters and soundsUsing shared reading effectivelyLearning through inquiryThe use of encouragementLiteracy routinesModelled writingUse of the Literacy BlockLiteracy across the dayThe vital use of non fiction textsAnd much more!Enjoy, and let us know thoughts and feedback in our Facebook Group. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite podcast player. JOIN CUE LEARNING'S NEXT LIVE WEBINAR!Find upcoming events here and previous webinars (online video courses) here.Other matching PDF resources can be found at Teachific. FEATURED RESOURCESMrs Wishy Washy by Joy CowleyThe Wrong Book by Nick BlandThe Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric CarlePamella Allen booksJoy Cowley booksNon fiction books e.g. snailsTEACHIFICSpelling and Word Study Resources F-2Helping Children to Learn High Frequency Words - for TeachersHelping Children to Learn High Frequency Words - for Parents Got any questions?
