Literacy and learning
This training pack is designed to support the teaching of literacy that is in all of our schools, special schools and school libraries.
Schools can choose this as their whole school focus which will help to raise literacy levels across the curriculum.
The pack is organised into three sections:
- Learning through talk
Using talk to clarify and present ideas
Active listening to understand
Talking and thinking together - Learning from text
Developing research and study skills
Reading for meaning
Understanding how texts work - Learning through writing
Using writing as a tool for thought
Structuring and organising writing
Developing clear and appropriate expression
