Renowned educator Diane Snowball provides insights and examples on how to effectively teach young students writing and reading.
Student engagement can be increased by bringing a child’s own language and experiences into their reading and writing.
Embracing diversity, using different technologies and constantly reviewing are key elements for teachers to create an impactful unit of work.
Teaching practices can be developed through using the right Mentor Texts and undergoing frequent observation and reflection in the classroom.
Dr Brian Cambourne says there are eight conditions for learning in the classroom that will lead to improved outcomes with students.
Providing access to books both inside and outside the classroom should be a top priority for schools, according to literacy expert Sharon Callen.
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 need to activate the core aspects of writing with students so they can better understand the behaviours of effective writers.
