This webinar will take participants on a journey of how to use fiction and non-fiction texts to build reading fluency and through modelling demonstrate how the child can become an apprentice writer through their engagement with these texts.

This webinar is based on a research project conducted in Irish Primary Schools.

This webinar will be accompanied by resources to support the suggested approach.

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will explore the key features of fiction and non-fiction genres.

Participants will engage with a modelled approach to teaching writing effectively across the Primary School.
