Children's achievements in writing lag behind their achievements in reading, speaking and listening. National tests are beginning to expose this gap and inevitably, it is raising concerns. The issue is not without controversy but regardless of the politics of the situation, national progress in children's writing is both needed and possible. This new book from Eve Bearne makes a valuable contribution towards helping teachers close this gap. Uniquely, it follows the structure of the National Literacy Strategy, whilst examining key areas such as bridging KS2 and KS3 writing, and writing skills beyond the Literacy Hour. Such a structure makes the book incredibly practical and easy to use, providing essential information for both practitioners and academics. eBook available with sample pages: 0203167244

Educational policy is becoming more concerned with the need to
ensure that people leave school or college fully literate. We need
good oral communicators in the workplace, and being able to
understand and respond to different kinds of language is vital in
today's society. Included here is a detailed and highly readable
account of the ways in which language affects every aspect of study
- it crosses all subject boundaries, yet it is commonly seen as the
sole responsibility of the English teacher to manage this area of
the curriculum. The first section of the book looks at the ideology
behind language, while the second section considers how schools and
local authorities have tackled improving levels of literacy. The
third section is concerned with practical advice on how to teach
language most successfully, irrespective of subject. Latter
sections focus on developing a critical eye, and supporting pupils
who have particular needs.

Differentiation is a key part of effective teaching; structuring
learning experiences to suit the needs of the individual child
plays a major part in the quality of the education that child
receives. However, even experienced teachers can often struggle to
achieve this ideal when considering the needs of a class, which is
likely to include pupils across the whole ability range, from
students with learning difficulties through to gifted children.
Written by practising teachers this collection: * examines the
definitions and scope of differentiation * looks at the structuring
and management of learning activities within the curriculum areas
of key stages 1 and 2 * shows how teachers can provide equal access
to the curriculum for all children, whilst also meeting government
requirements * discusses issues of assessment * describes how
schools can construct a whole school policy and approach for
differentiation. Using case studies and examples, this book will
lead teachers to reflect on their current practice, whilst also
containing practical advice which will enable them to improve.

Children's experience of texts is no longer limited to words on
printed pages - their reading and writing worlds are formed in
multimodal ways, combining different modes of communication,
including speech or sound, still or moving images, writing and
gesture. This book is a practical guide for teachers in making
sense of multimodal approaches to teaching writing. The book covers
topics such as: - The design of multimodal texts and the
relationships between texts and images - How to build a supportive
classroom environment for analysing visual and audiovisual texts,
and how to teach about reading images - How to plan a teaching
sequence leading to specific writing outcomes - Examples of
teaching sequences for developing work on narrative, non-fiction
and poetry - Formative and summative assessment of multimodal
texts, providing levels for judging pupil development, and
suggestions for moving pupils forward - How to write, review and
carry out a whole school policy for teaching multimodal writing The
book is accompanied by a CD, which contains a range of examples of
children's multimodal work, along with electronic versions of the
activities and photocopiable sheets from the book, and material
designed for use with interactive whiteboards. It will be a
valuable resource for primary teachers, literacy co-ordinators and
students on initial teacher training courses.

This book provides some challangin questions which are examined in
the light of authentic classroom experience. For any learner,
literacy is of crucial importance. For teachers, raising standards
of literacy is a constant concern. The first two sections of the
book consider two important questions: What does children's writing
reveal about their reading experience and competence?, and How can
teachers help children to become more careful and critical readers
of their own and other people's writing. In the third section of
the book these questions are put in a theoretical framework which
tackles some of the more fundamental issues of culture, language
diversity and gender, the relationship between oracy and literacy
and how best to help children who struggle with literacy. The final
section gives some practical guidance for developing a full and
successful literacy curriculum. Eve Bearne is Senior Lecturer in
English and Education at Homerton College, Cambridge.
