Read Write Inc. Literacy and Language covers your literacy and
language teaching for years 2-6/P3-7. The programme inspires a love
of literature through the study of complete texts, with a core
structure of grammar skills taught in context and through writing,
to ensure children become confident writers with real skills at
their command. Each unit offers a multi-layered approach to
developing comprehension, vocabulary, writing, critical thinking,
spoken language and explicit guidance for teaching grammar skills.
The resources for each year are a Teacher's Handbook, a CD-ROM, an
Anthology, a Pupils' Book and a Homework Book. Work centres around
the texts in the Anthologies, which contain complete stories,
poems, play scripts and non-fiction texts written by leading
authors including: Michael Morpurgo, Jeremy Strong, Ted Hughes,
Jamila Gavin, Geraldine McCaughrean, and Roger McGough Children are
introduced to a text through a three layered approach: Story
Version 1, 2 and 3. Each version of the story contains more
information about the setting, characters and plot. This approach
provides children with opportunities to develop an implicit
knowledge and deep understanding of the structures of language and
of the stories in the Anthologies. A range of reading, writing,
speaking and listening and drama activities develop understanding
further. Children then see a new text being composed through
modelled writing by the teacher, through the planning, oral
rehearsing, drafting and editing stages. Supported by the teacher,
the children then mirror the process the teacher has modelled,
drafting and revising so that they write ambitiously and accurately
as they compose their own extended piece of writing. So Literacy
and Language ensures that, as the new National Curriculum advises,
children learn, through being shown, the skills and processes
essential for writing. Grammar concepts are taught in context and
through writing so they are meaningful for children. The Software
also contains a Grammar Bank - a reference tool for teachers to
help them teach grammar with confidence. It covers all the grammar
concepts in the National Curriculum from Years 2-6 and includes
'Test yourself' sections, with answers, to help teachers check
their understanding. There are also practice tests to prepare
children for the Year 6 English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling
Test. A 'Big Question' links the fiction and non-fiction elements,
encouraging children to reason, debate and think critically about
the texts they read and develop their spoken language skills. The
programme will be matched to the new curriculum and the Teacher's
Handbooks show clearly how activities link to the programmes of
study. *Year 5 and 6 are new editions of a programme previously
called Comprehension Plus.
