Stringing Strong Sentences in EYs & KS1
Free online webinar

Date: Thursday 15^th October 2026

Time: 15:45 – 16:45

Strong writers need strong sentences and sentence development starts long before children put pencil to paper. This practical webinar for Early Years and KS1 practitioners explores the importance of sentence-level instruction, with a particular focus on developing sentences orally first.

We’ll explore the evidence behind sentence-level work, the role of syntax and some of the foundational sentence moves that help young children build, manipulate and elaborate sentences. You’ll leave with a bank of practical, plug-and-play activities that can be used immediately in your setting to develop children’s oral language and lay the foundations for confident writing.

We’ll explore:
Evidence Essentials: why sentence-level instruction matters
Syntax: what it is and why it matters for writing
Foundational sentence moves
Early sentence-level moves
Practical activities you can take straight back to your setting
