Across five interactive days, participants will embark on their own learning journey—creating a reflective journal as they explore rich children’s literature and discover practical, playful approaches to teaching literacy that spark curiosity and engagement in young learners.

Each session is carefully structured into manageable, focused segments, with plenty of opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and reflection, all grounded in active and playful methodologies suitable for the primary classroom. Expect a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment where teachers can build confidence, share ideas, and grow together—making literacy learning playful, meaningful, and enjoyable for all.
