Implementing PLD in Years 3, 4, 5 & 6  - Gold Coast

PLD provides an Australian, evidence-based approach to Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) for primary school educators. Aligned with the Science of Reading, PLD’s SSP approach extends from the junior primary years through to upper primary years and thereby facilitating a whole school approach.PLD’s method is derived from the disciplines of speech pathology, occupational therapy and education. As an Australian publisher and professional development provider, PLD advocates that literacy and learning outcomes are maximised for children when their Literacy, Oral Language and Movement & Motor skills are targeted.

<h3>By middle and upper primary, students typically present with a diverse range in ability.</h3><h3>What to teach? When to screen? How to cater for the range in ability?</h3>PLD provides an Australian, <a href="https://pld-literacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022_SSP_Programs.The_Bulletin.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">evidence-based approach</a> to Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) for primary school educators. Aligned with the Science of Reading, PLD’s SSP approach extends from the junior primary years through to the upper primary years and thereby facilitating a whole school approach. This full-day seminar outlines the explicit instruction of phonics, decoding, and spelling along with time-efficient tracking of student performance that informs the targeted teaching. This one-day Literacy and Learning, a seminar designed for Years 3, 4, 5, &amp; 6, outlines evidence-based structured synthetic phonics (SSP) teaching and student tracking. Despite the range in the ability within each middle and upper primary class, the targeted SSP teaching aims to cater for the literacy outcomes of all students in middle and upper primary students. This seminar provides a scope and sequence that is practical, realistic, and time-efficient to implement and will cater for advanced, average, and delayed students.Recommended for staff working within Years 3, 4, 5, &amp; 6, this seminar explores:<ul><li>A non-standardised spelling placement test in order to determine the specific range within the class.</li><li>How to allocate a proportion of the literacy block to the explicit instruction of spelling and decoding ‘word attack’ skills and also how to facilitate the transference of these spelling words (and ever-increasing sophisticated vocabulary concepts) into writing.</li><li>A synthetic phonics approach for the students operating at a junior primary level.</li><li>For the stronger students, a phonic-based approach focuses on word meanings and opportunities to transfer concepts into writing.</li><li>Oral language instruction and how to facilitate students’ ability to speak in complex grammatically correct sentences.</li><li>As narrative programs have been associated with increasing comprehension and written expression ability, narrative retelling and narrative generation processes are also outlined.</li></ul>Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of PLD’s scope and sequence for Preparatory to Year 6. This is PLD’s best-selling resource ‘<a href="https://pld-literacy.org/product/phonic-and-sight-word-sequence/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Phonic and Sight Word Sequence</a>&#x27; and is valued at over $70.00. This resource is central to establishing a whole school approach and consistency across year levels and across classrooms. It provides phonic concepts for Reception to Year 6 along with phonemic (and phonological awareness) skills, spelling rules, spelling words, high-frequency words, placement tests, term reviews, guidelines for explicit teaching, and screening options which can then be plotted onto PLD tracking sheets. The <a href="https://pld-literacy.org/product/phonic-and-sight-word-sequence/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Phonic and Sight Word Sequence</a> book can be viewed in full online by clicking on the link and then the cover. *** This book cannot be transferred to other PLD titles.
