Frank Cowling, Managing Director at Toe by Toe in the UK, will be presenting a practical, ’hands on’ workshop on the use of this powerful literacy tool.

Toe by Toe, written and developed by Keda Cowling, a classroom teacher in the North of England, is now used in more than 100 countries around the world. Keda’s intention was to provide classroom assistants, parents or - indeed – any literate person - with a simple, method to help struggling readers of any age.

The workshop will provide effective strategies to teach decoding skills and attendees will leave well-equipped to use this manual to change lives for the better. They may find that the process will change their lives too…
