'Covering topics ranging from: exploiting opportunities to write from experience, to poetry slamming in the classroom, to 'harnessing the potential of new technologies' (Green 2011, pp. 70) the chapters provide the detail required for immediate classroom transfer, including references to relevant children's books, websites and free teacher resources.
'It is pleasing to see this book, written by experienced primary practitioners, offering imaginative, practical ideas all of which are underpinned by sound learning theory. All primary teachers can benefit from the excellent examples of effective primary practice described' - Prue Goodwin, Lecturer in Literacy and Children's Books
This book provides useful background, case studies and ideas to try out in the classroom. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on traditional tales, and referenced it to my students as we explored the value of traditional tales in KS1. It provided an excellent base to promote discussion and develop unit plans in preparation for their KS1 school experience.
This contains some really insightful chapters. I found Bower's chapter particularly enlightening and have recommended it to various trainees currently doing their independent studies.
A good resource that combines practical teaching ideas with relevant theoretical perspectives.
Not as strong as some other books in this field, of which there any many.
an easy read book for great ideas of how to create a more interactive and fun literacy hour. A must for level 3 students within the childcare sector
Very practical
This book says exactly what it is on the cover. So it is really aimed at the specific role of supporting literacy. If this is what you are supporting students with then perfect but only if that is an area they are developing.
very useful for teacher training with specific information at this level. Good supporting text
Good range of practical teaching ideas supported by relevant research. Will be part of the recommended pre-course reading for the post-graduate and employment-based ITE course from this summer.
A useful resource for level 6 students and practitioners
very useful, good layout, easy to read suitable for undergraduates and post graduates
This is a useful introduction to teaching techniques for students.
An excellently written book, filled with practical ideas for the pre-service and in-service teacher. The language and activites presented in this book is accessible for teachers.
This book supports early literacy and illustatrates a range of methods to carry out for key stage 2 children.
