Structured Literacy PLD

We are very pleased to announce that we have been approved as facilitators to deliver the Ministry Funded Structured Literacy PLD for years 0-3.

Our courses will be run in conjunction with our providers Spectrum Education.

The Structured Literacy Journey:   
MAKING THE DIFFERENCE FOR THOSE WHO LEARN DIFFERENTLY

Would you like:

  • To feel valued and supported as you step into your structured literacy journey?

  • To implement structured literacy practices with freely available resources, and those already available in your school, with minimal additional expenditure?

  • To learn the key skills for greatest impact without being overloaded?

  • To be led on this journey by someone with proven outcomes with diverse student populations in cross cultural, socio economic groups?

  • To have fun, joy and passion as you develop great practice that works with your programme?

  • Would you like to maintain your autonomy while implementing structured literacy and meeting Ministry requirements?
