Play-Based Learning & Structured Literacy: Co-Existing in the Primary Classroom

Play-Based Learning & Structured Literacy: Co-Existing in the Primary Classroom

This two-part webinar supports primary teachers to bring together the principles of Structured Literacy and learning through play—without compromising on either. Rather than treating these approaches as opposites, this webinar shows how they can co-exist to support strong, child-centred literacy outcomes.

Across two on-demand sessions, you’ll explore:

• How to maintain student engagement and build literacy identity
• Where Structured Literacy and play fit within the Evolving Systems Model
• The teacher’s role in enabling literacy-rich play environments
• How the learning environment acts as the “third teacher”
• The power of oral language in both structured and play contexts
• How reading and writing can be enriched through meaningful, play-led learning
• Practical examples of literacy in play—and how to respond in the moment

Format: 2 x 2-hour sessions (pre-recorded and on demand)
Suitable for: Classroom teachers, team leaders, and school-based literacy and curriculum leads
