Teaching Literacy to SEND Students – Short CPD course
This course will identify how to develop the four skills of Literacy: Speaking, listening, writing and reading, with an emphasis on practical solutions for the classroom and specific impairments. It will cover specific learning disabilities associated with literacy, and how best to make the teaching of literacy skills meaningful for SEND students.
Learning outcomes

Advantages of this course
- It is not just SEND students who are falling behind in basic literacy skills. The latest government research focuses on the need to improve literacy throughout primary and secondary school. The practical solutions, games, and ideas suggested in this course can be applied to any setting. Good teaching for SEND is good teaching for all.
- Learning to be ‘literate’ is not linear and students may show immense skill in some areas and severe delay in others. This course explains the importance of keeping the individual student at the forefront of your mind, and how best to keep activities and lessons motivating for students who are struggling.
- This course suggests reading, research, and additional information that will provide practical information and expand knowledge.
- Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
