Book excerpt: The National Literacy Strategy is at the heart of the government drive to raise the standards in literacy in schools. Based on a research project conducted in classrooms during the first year of the National Literacy Strategy (NLS), this book provides a practical analysis of the ways in which successful teachers have implemented the Literacy Hour. Taking a reflective approach, it chronicles how teachers have changed their attitudes and practice over the first year, and questions why these changes have occurred. With various descriptions of teachers' practice and examples of children's writing throughout, this is an in-depth, yet down-to-earth reflective analysis of effective literacy teaching. Ros Fisher looks in detail at issues such as; improving the teaching of literacy; researching classroom practice; children's learning in the Literacy Hour; changing practice at Key Stage One and Two and mixed age classes and literacy for four-year-olds.

Book excerpt: Literacy is necessary to be successful academically and to perform adequately in most jobs. Reading can also be a valuable form of entertainment, yet learning to read can be extremely difficult. Unlike the ability to see, hear, or speak, there is no specific part of the brain exclusively devoted towards the ability to read. For this reason, a child is best equipped to gain the skills and understand the enjoyment that comes with reading, if the adults in his or her life are well informed about how reading works.Children's Literacy Under One Hour will give you an overview of the concepts helpful towards teaching a child to read, or encourage a child who is already starting to read. This book includes information relevant to children as early as infancy to as old as elementary school. From the six early literacy skills, the way the brain develops, picture vs chapter books, to phonics and sentence structure, it is sure to prepare your child to succeed in school and in life!

Book excerpt: Informational kinds of reading are crucial in every lesson. This book looks at how we can encourage children from the very beginning to think of themselves as young researchers using skills and strategies for clear purposes. It argues that the creative practitioner nurtures children's sense of wonder and curiosity about the world and all its phenomena. Packed full of advice on how to use the most stimulating and exciting texts and the liveliest approaches, the book celebrates the good practice of teachers and student teachers in a large number of classroom case studies. The content includes: * a summary of the recent developments and a framework of principles to inform good practice in this challenging aspect of literacy * chapters concentrating on particular age groups - beginning with the nursery and ending with the later primary years - and thus taking up an essentially developmental approach * an assessment of recent research and how findings can be put to practical and creative use in the classroom. A central message is that children benefit from collaborating with teachers and peers at every stage of finding out. The spoken language energises informational reading and writing, making the sharing of the fruits of children's research highly enjoyable. This book will inspire you and lead to the very best practice.
