'A fascinating piece of writing, presenting ideas that are fresh
and exciting' - Katherine Taddie Kelly, Literacy Coach and Reading
Interventionist, Waco Independent School District, TX 'Focuses on
enhancing students' metalinguistic awareness and not just their
intuitive use of words, fostering the development of higher mental
functions' - Elena Bodrova, Senior Researcher, McREL For teachers
charged with the great responsibility of helping students achieve
basic literacy, delivering instruction in stimulating and engaging
ways is not an ideal - it's a necessity. Recognizing this,
award-winning author and teacher Kieran Egan puts the fun in
fundamentals of literacy by helping teachers stir students'
imagination and emotions. In Teaching Literacy, Egan rejects the
notion that familiar ideas and experiences are the best vehicles
for effective instruction. Instead, he champions a new approach
that focuses on teaching core literacy skills using concepts
ranging from fascinating to exotic to magnificent to weird. By
framing the elements of literacy in the unforgettable, students
more readily retain material, not only preparing them for tests,
but also instilling a lifelong love of reading and writing. This
innovative resource supplies answers to the question, "But how do I
do it?" by offering: o Tried-and-tested activities from practising
classroom teachers o "Teachers, Try It Out" features with teaching
challenges (and an appendix of possible responses) for everyday
classroom practice o Step-by-step planning frameworks for designing
and delivering engaging literacy instruction Combining playfulness
with practicality and creativity with common sense, Egan's
strategies apply to beginning readers at any age, bringing about
authentic, enjoyable learning experiences.
