About this Event

Structured Literacy Approach

Starting in 2025, state schools in Victoria will be adopting a structured literacy approach and PLD is here to help Literacy Coordinators and school leadership teams make a smooth transition. Attend this seminar to learn about PLD's Structured Literacy Program for F-2 or the whole school and see if it's the right fit for your needs.

Who is PLD?

PLD provides an Australian, evidence-based approach to Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) for primary school educators. Aligned with the Science of Reading, PLD’s SSP approach extends from the junior primary years through to upper primary years and thereby facilitating a whole school approach. This full-day seminar outlines the explicit instruction of phonics, decoding and spelling along with time-efficient tracking of student performance that informs the targeted teaching.

What is covered in the training?

This seminar aims to provide an outline of PLD’s implementation within a school from Foundation (Prep) to Year 6.

  • The seminar begins by outlining the explicit pre-literacy skill teaching that is recommended early in the Foundation (Prep) school year. The presentation of these preventative programs aims to get young learners off to a positive start to their literacy acquisition.
  • The scenario in which a proportion of students can enter Year 1 and 2 at a pre-literacy level is also explored along with the recommendations for programs, explicit teaching, programs and skill development tracking assessments.
  • The seminar explores how to assign and track the development of early decoding and fluency. These measures inform the students who require decodable reading books.
  • PLD’s Stages 1-6 are explained, along with the associated assessments for the junior, middle and upper primary.
  • PLD advocates for three targeted teaching groups on the basis of placement tests. This is explained using sample class testing results.
  • This seminar provides a scope and sequence and process that is practical, realistic, and time-efficient to implement and will cater for advanced, average, and delayed students.

**Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of PLD’s scope and sequence for Preparatory to Year 6. This is PLD’s best-selling resource ‘Phonic and Sight Word Sequence' (valued at $82.50). This resource is central to establishing a whole school approach and consistency across year levels and across classrooms. It provides phonic concepts for Foundation to Year 6 along with phonemic (and phonological awareness) skills, spelling rules, spelling words, high-frequency words, placement tests, term reviews, guidelines for explicit teaching, and screening options which can then be plotted onto PLD tracking sheets. The Phonic and Sight Word Sequence book can be viewed in full online by clicking here and then 'Preview book'. This book cannot be swapped for other PLD titles.
