Making Every English Lesson Count: Six Principles to Support Great
Reading and Writing goes in search of answers to the fundamental
question that all English teachers must ask: 'What can I do to help
my students to become confident and competent readers and writers?'
Writing in the practical, engaging style of the award-winning
Making Every Lesson Count, Andy Tharby returns with an offering of
gimmick-free advice that combines the time-honoured wisdom of
excellent English teachers with the most useful evidence from
cognitive science. The book is underpinned by six pedagogical
principles - challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, feedback
and questioning - and provides simple, realistic classroom
strategies to bring the teaching of conceptual knowledge,
vocabulary and challenging literature to the foreground. It also
points a sceptical finger at the fashions and myths that have
pervaded English teaching over the past decade or so - such as the
idea that English is a skills-based subject and the belief that
students can make huge progress in a single lesson.Instead, Andy
advocates an approach of artful repetition and consolidation and
shows you how to help your students develop their reading and
writing proficiency over time. Making Every English Lesson Count is
for new and experienced English teachers alike. It does not pretend
to be a magic bullet. It does not claim to have all the answers.
Rather the aim of the book is to provide effective strategies
designed to help you to bring the six principles to life, with each
chapter concluding in a series of questions to inspire reflective
thought and help you relate the content to your classroom practice.
In an age of educational quick fixes, GCSE reform and ever-moving
goalposts, this precise and timely addition to the Making Every
Lesson Count series provides practical solutions to perennial
problems and inspires a rich, challenging and evidence-informed
approach to English teaching. Suitable for English teachers of
students aged 11-16 years.
