Why attend?
This conference builds on the very successful Primary National Strategy (PNS) Talk for Writing materials developed by Pie Corbett supported by Julia Strong. The PNS materials focused on fiction but Pie, Julia and Judy Clark have been working with a number of authorities to adapt the approach to suit the needs of communication across the curriculum. Pie will exemplify how to use fiction text to help children internalise the patterns of language of a range of non-fiction text types, and then show how to adapt the approach across the curriculum so that children become confident communicators in all non-fiction areas. All material presented will be different from last year's conferences and will include an emphasis on talking and writing recount, persuasion and discussion text.
Costs: £195 for one delegate, £175 for additional delegates from the same school/organisation.
