Making Phonics Accessible and Achievable for Learners With SEND

This training focuses on the why, what and how of teaching phonics to learners with SEND. During the session we consider how to use the DfE’s reading framework with learners who are not making progress. We will examine how the science of reading can be used to create an inclusive systematic synthetic phonics curriculum to enable all learners to make progress. It will contain practical strategies and approaches that can be used right away to make a difference to learners who are struggling, within any validated scheme.

Dr Sarah Moseley

My journey took me through many different roles in education from teaching assistant to mainstream class teacher, senior leader within several special needs schools, Headteacher of an all-age special needs school and finally an independent consultant.

Alongside the practitioner roles in my spare time, I spent nearly 20 years as a researcher. I completed a master's degree, a PhD in Special Education, presented nationally/internationally at conferences and became a published author of my research. I am currently writing a book on the teaching of reading to all learners, due early 2022.

I have learnt that it is only through a change in the culture of the adults that we can really make a difference to the opportunities for all children and young adults.
