Training Brochure
Jane is very informative and makes the course enjoyable and engaging.
I love attending Debs’ training – funny, informative and easy to work with.
Opportunity to reflect on the writing process and discuss next steps. Content all lively and interesting.
Good ideas on how to integrate grammar and spelling teaching into literacy lessons rather than always as separate discrete session.
