Training is an essential element when implementing Song of Sounds as it is key to ensuring fidelity and consistency. Training is delivered by Song of Sounds authors, Liz Webster and Sue Reed. We are experienced trainers, having trained across the UK and internationally too. We can promise that our training will not only be informative and useful, but lively, interactive and LOTS of fun!
We can offer twilight training or half or whole day INSET training and will tailor the training to suit your school or nursery’s requirements, whether you are a school new to Song of Sounds or an established school that require some top-up training for new staff or training in a particular area of the programme. We can offer parent workshops too if required.
WE NOW OFFER A CALENDAR OF ONLINE TRAINING THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY SCHOOL OR INDIVIDUAL DELEGATES TO BOOK ONTO. FOR FURTHER DETAILS ON DATES AND PRICES , CLICK ON THE 'TRAINING CALENDAR' ON THE RIGHT.

Teachers we have trained have given us lots of lovely feedback....
“This was such a fun and entertaining training session!”
“It was great!
So fun
but so informative!”
“Fantastic training. Made me feel passionate about teaching phonics in a fun way!”
“Very useful session which was delivered enthusiastically and with lots of ideas to try out. “
“Liz and Sue were a highlight at our recent parents’ workshop evening. Everyone was on their feet joining in with actions and singing along to the song. They created a real buzz in the school and excitement about phonics.”
“This training has supported me to bring phonics to life for the staff and children at our school. The staff have already begun to effectively implement this scheme. There have been early indicators in reception of children applying their learning of new sounds, within the first couple of weeks. “
