Foundations for Life Christchurch

Join Lyn Stone for a focused, hands-on session designed to help children move into fluent, confident reading and writing.
This session walks you through what actually works in literacy instruction, grounded in decades of classroom practice, research, and refinement.
You will learn:
- How written English works beneath the surface
- Why some children struggle to become fluent readers and writers
- What to teach,
- In what order, and why
- How to support the shift from sounding out to real reading
- How writing can drive spelling and reading development
Lyn will guide you through the key ideas behind Foundations for Life, with clear explanations, practical routines, and immediately usable strategies.
Each ticket includes a copy of Foundations for Life. If you already have the book, your additional copy can be shared with a colleague, school, or family member.
Suitable for teachers, school leaders, tutors, and parents who want clarity and direction in supporting literacy development.
