Join our free Little Learners Love Literacy® webinar on reading fluency.

Fluency is core to being an effective reader – it is required for comprehension, and comprehension is required for fluency. Both are very closely linked.

We are often contacted by teachers and parents who are concerned about children's reading fluency – what does fluent reading sound like? Are children reading the right stage book?

In this webinar we'll explore what fluency is, what our benchmarks are and which Little Learners Love Literacy® teaching routines and activities will help children develop fluency.

Want to strengthen your students’ vocabulary and support deeper reading comprehension? This webinar is for you!

In this engaging webinar we will cover:
- what vocabulary is, including breadth and depth, and why it is essential for comprehension
- the different types of vocabulary, with a focus on Tier 2 words in the Early Years
- the connection between oral vocabulary and reading vocabulary in early literacy development
- how vocabulary instruction can be embedded within your existing literacy block
- how Little Learners Love Literacy® resources support vocabulary development in practice
- practical, classroom-ready strategies and approaches for explicit vocabulary instruction
- common challenges and how to support successful implementation.

This webinar is perfect for teachers looking to build students’ word knowledge, deepen understanding, and support strong reading comprehension from the Early Years.

Join our free Little Learners Love Literacy® webinar on Heart Words. Heart Words are common words that children need to be explicitly taught because they cannot fully decode them yet. Students need to know these words to read connected text.

Many Heart Words will become decodable later in the program. A few Heart Words will not become decodable – they are irregular or use less common grapheme–phoneme correspondences.

Even though children cannot fully decode Heart Words when they first appear in the books, it is still essential to break Heart Words into sounds when you teach them, explicitly teaching the unknown part(s). By mapping phonemes to graphemes children will have a much stronger chance of recalling these words.

In this webinar we will review the best ways to teach, practise, apply and assess Heart Words with your students.

Curious about how morphology sits alongside phonics in reading and spelling? This webinar is for you!

In this engaging webinar we will cover: - what morphology is and how it connects to phonics within the dual code of written language

- the progression from phonics to morphology in reading, spelling and comprehension
- how teaching morphology supports vocabulary development and understanding of complex words
- practical, classroom-ready routines for explicitly teaching morphology.

This webinar is perfect for teachers wanting to deepen their understanding of spelling and comprehension, and support students to confidently read, spell and understand more complex words.
