Webinar - Teaching Heart Words with Little Learners Love Literacy

Heart words - what are they? Why do we teach them and how do we teach teach them? Join this webinar to find out more...

Join our free Little Learners Love Literacy® webinar on Heart words.  Heart words are words that children need to ‘learn by heart’ because they cannot decode them yet.

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 phoneme–grapheme correspondences.

Even though children cannot decode Heart words when they first appear in the books, it is still useful to break Heart words into sounds when you teach them. By mapping phonemes to graphemes children will have a much stronger chance of recalling these words.

In this short webinar we will review the best ways to teach, practice, apply and assess heart words with your students.

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 LLLL teaching routines and activities will help children develop fluency.

YOUR FEEDBACK

I am so very appreciative of these incredible free webinars. It builds such fabulous teacher capacity. I LOVE all of your LLLL resources, I would be lost without them. All the resources are just so user friendly and engaging and I just cannot get enough of them.
Thank you.

Really informative webinar about the LLASS, so I can't wait to buy it and use it!

Thanks so much, the webinar was informative and very helpful. I really appreciate that it was free of charge. 

Kate, Teacher 

I was attending to find out more about this approach and it was explained very clearly. 

Carol, Teacher  

I found this webinar quick, to the point and very informative. 

Shumba, Reading Support Teacher 

Even though I have done the two-day workshops, I still felt like I needed to know more about LLARS. The LLARS workshop was really informative and answered some of the questions I had about the assessment. 

Lisa, Teacher 

Thank you for the opportunity to reflect on my practices in literacy. 

Kylie, Literacy leader and Deputy Principal 

Very thorough, Great background into the evidence behind the program, hosts very knowledgeable. 

Alison, Learning Support 


Really great succinct presentations ladies. I've seen 2 to date with registrations for 3 more. Many thanks for making it so available and accessible. Keep up the revolution..Bravo!

Andrea, NZ

I have really enjoyed attending the few I’ve attended so far. I have done the two day course at our school and we are implementing LLLL at our school. But I have picked up a lot attending the webinars too. I like the fact that they are well paced especially as it is after a day of school. There is time for questions and there is always extra support if needed. So I’m getting a lot out of them. Thanks.
