Implementing SSP with PLD in Foundation (One-Day Seminar) Perth, WA

One-Day Seminar: What to Expect

The seminar outlines how to implement PLD’s evidence-based Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) programs within the Foundation school year. 

Attendees will gain the knowledge, tools and processes to implement explicit, systematic instruction that builds strong early literacy foundations across the Foundation school year. 

The seminar outlines how to administer the PLD Screening Tools as progress checks, designed to monitor code-based literacy acquisition. Once screening is completed, results are recorded in PLD Tracking Sheets and used to establish targeted teaching groups. 

The seminar outlines the weekly task overview for Monday through to Friday and the full lesson-block structure. 

The seminar includes a short workshop segment for coaching with PLD class testing results. If you (or your school) are currently implementing PLD, remember to bring an EXCEL downloaded copy of the PLD tracking sheets. With access to the class testing profile, attendees will maximise coaching opportunities during the session and leave with a classroom-ready plan for the upcoming term.
