Mae’r sesiwn datblygiad proffesiynol hon wedi’i chynllunio i gefnogi ymarferwyr i ddeall sut mae plant yn datblygu fel darllenwyr cynnar drwy iaith lafar, geirfa, adrodd straeon, chwarae a dealltwriaeth. Bydd y cwrs yn archwilio darllen fel proses ddatblygiadol sy’n mynd y tu hwnt i ffoneg yn unig, gan ganolbwyntio ar gyfleoedd darllen dilys a dysgu drwy chwarae.
Bydd cyfranogwyr yn ystyried sut i greu amgylcheddau cyfoethog o ran iaith, hyrwyddo sgyrsiau ystyrlon, a chefnogi datblygiad darllen mewn ffyrdd sy’n briodol yn ddatblygiadol ac yn unol â’r Cwricwlwm i Gymru.
