Breakout 1 summary:
Oral Storytelling for Learning
Ed Finch demonstrates how oral storytelling can be used in the classroom to enable really high quality talk. Ed will take us through the process by which he helps children to learn a new story and explores some activities that can be used to deepen children’s experience and link into other learning. You can harness the power of the storyteller to put extended, meaningful, speech for a purpose into your pupils mouths and ears.

Breakout 2 summary:
Story Time
Sharing a picturebook or a class novel builds prosody, vocabulary, a sense of ‘the voice of the reader’, empathy and relationships in the classroom. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have. So let’s do it really well. Work with Ed to look at a picturebook and an excerpt from a popular class novel to explore what makes a really good reading. Yes, we will do the voices.
Professor Jessie Ricketts
Professor Jessie Ricketts  is based in the Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London and directs the Language and Reading Acquisition (LARA) research group. Jessie researches language and literacy in children, young people and adults. She is particularly interested in how reading benefits children’s learning and language. For example, how does learning to read change the way that we process language? Should we emphasise written forms when teaching children new words? How can we support adolescents to read more so that they can expand their vocabulary knowledge? Jessie works closely with teachers, educational charities and policy makers to conduct research and consider its implications for education.

Dominic has made a leading contribution to research on curriculum and pedagogy, including national curricula, for more than 25 years. He has led multiple research projects and has published many books and research papers. Dominic’s main research is on effective teaching of reading and writing. His book ‘The Balancing Act: An Evidence-Based Approach to Teaching Phonics, Reading and Writing’ (co-authored with Charlotte Hacking. Routledge Publishing), and a research paper, advanced ‘The Double Helix of Reading and Writing’, a new theory and model for teaching. Dominic’s research on writing developed ‘the ear of the writer’ as a metaphor for effective writing across the life course, for novice and expert writers. This multidisciplinary research was published in the book ‘How Writing Works: From the invention of the alphabet to the rise of social media’ (Cambridge University Press). An original feature of the work was the comparisons made between language and music. Dominic’s research on grammar and writing, in the context of national curricula, has included seminal research papers and more recently a randomised controlled trial to examine a new approach to teaching grammar. The book ‘Teaching English, Language and Literacy – 5th Edition’ (with Helen Bradford and John-Mark Winstanley. Routledge) has been a leading text for teachers and teacher education for more than 20 years. ‘>Dominic Wyse FAcSS FRSA is Professor of Early Childhood and Primary Education at the Institute of Education (IOE), University College London (UCL).
