- Expert Lesson Delivery: Deliver engaging, age-appropriate lessons that bridge the gap between play-based learning and KS1 structure.
- Phonics Mastery: Utilise your knowledge of Phonics (e.g., Read Write Inc, Jolly Phonics, or Little Wandle) to boost reading confidence.
- Classroom Management: Quickly build rapport with new groups of children, maintaining a calm, productive, and safe learning environment.
- Adaptive Teaching: Differentiate tasks on the fly to support pupils with diverse needs, ensuring every child stays on track with the day's objectives.
