SEL Combined with Literacy

At WiseLearn Education, we recognise that a framework of calm is pivotal for unlocking a child's learning potential. When children are calm, they can more effectively access their prefrontal cortex and develop their hippocampus, leading to significantly improved learning outcomes. This foundation is crucial for literacy, enabling deeper engagement with language and communication.

Children thrive when learning is connected to their existing knowledge and familiar experiences. By utilising systems and resources that minimise cognitive load, educators can create an optimal learning environment. At WiseLearn, we recommend planning resources and establishing routines that are both short and engaging, catering to the diverse needs of students through appropriate differentiation.

Fluency is a critical component of literacy development, but it is equally important for children to apply their skills to real-world contexts. Therefore, a harmonious blend between fluency development and authentic application is essential. Our strategies ensure that literacy learning is not only effective but also meaningful, empowering children to confidently express themselves in the world around them.

SEL and Alphabetic Code

As educators, our mission is to cultivate readers and writers. But how do we integrate SEL into learning the alphabetic code? At WiseLearn, we advocate for engaging, evidence-based resources that effectively support both students and teachers. These powerful tools are concise, offer robust teacher support, and engage students deeply.

By allowing for differentiation - an essential element of SEL - and building on what children already know, this approach is both impactful and research-backed.
