UKLA and BERA Research Symposium: ‘Play, playfulness and literacy’
Thursday 5 March

The intention of the day is to explore cutting-edge research which documents the playful engagement of learners from 3 – 18 years and to advance our understanding of the role of play and playfulness in different literacy practices within and beyond the classroom. We will also seek to make connections between research, pedagogy and literacy learning.
