Supporting School-aged Children with Language and Literacy Difficulties with CAINT
Tuesday 24th March at 6.30pm-7.30pm in Leixlip Community Library
This practical 1-hour talk equips teachers, SNAs, and parents with effective strategies to support school-aged children who experience language and literacy challenges. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how language skills underpin reading, writing, and classroom learning, and how difficulties in these areas may present in everyday school settings. The session explores evidence-based techniques to strengthen vocabulary, sentence structure, comprehension, phonological awareness, and early literacy development. Attendees will learn simple, classroom-friendly approaches to scaffolding learning, adapting instructions, and building children’s confidence as communicators and readers. Practical examples, resources, and take-home tips ensure participants leave with actionable ideas they can begin using immediately to support children’s success across the curriculum.
