About the event
Developing early language skills plays a crucial role in children’s development and forms the building blocks for learning and literacy. Prioritising language skills at primary, and tackling any barriers being faced, helps children achieve and reach their potential.
That’s why we want to ensure children are equipped to build language success, creating stable foundations for an inclusive, accessible, equitable learning journey through ages 4-19 and beyond.
Why you're invited
The journey of early language in schools is a collaborative one – and all voices have an important contribution to make. We are committed to offering a platform to teachers, leaders, experts and other sector representatives to discuss, consider and champion the right language support for today’s young learners. We will also be creating a space for attendees to explore pioneering approaches, connect with the latest in specialist support and find new inspiration from across the sector.

Agenda
Throughout the day, we will hear the latest research and updates from literacy specialists, tap in to panel discussions and group debates, reimagine frameworks for language and reading, and reflect on what our schools need to achieve early language success for every learner.
In the afternoon we break out to network, finding further opportunities to share resources and help shape new outcomes in primary schools nationwide.
