Providing access to books both inside and outside the classroom should be a top priority for schools, according to literacy expert Sharon Callen.
Quality literature can be a powerful tool in literacy teaching across all year levels, according to literacy facilitator Kate Tucker.
Author Mike Dumbleton says different books can be used by teachers to support student reading and writing.
The writing curriculum, process, traits and workshops will help teachers set up and plan lessons to build successful young writers.
Teachers can use classroom roving, reading conferences and shared feedback sessions to learn from students and improve their teaching of literacy.
Teachers can evaluate letter knowledge through asking questions, observing, using shared reading and using students’ names in activities.
Teachers can keep students engaged by presenting literacy devices through Mentor Texts, and then using the Quick Writes tool to practise and experiment.
Teachers need to activate the core aspects of writing with students so they can better understand the behaviours of effective writers.
Student empowerment, dedicated practice times and a collaborative classroom layout will help students become effective users of writing.
