Literacy

Literacy is important. This book is about getting it right. Its author is an expert in teaching children how to speak and write well, and has transformed the oral and written communication skills of many thousands of students. In How to Teach: Literacy he shares how he does it and what he knows about this most important of all skills and reveals what every teacher needs to know in order to radically transform literacy standards across the curriculum. The stories, anecdotes and insights into the many practical activities in this book are, in turn, and often in the same sentence, heart breaking, inspiring, shocking and, as ever, funnier and more readable than those in an education book have any right to be. Contains everything teachers need to know to teach literacy effectively, regardless of their subject specialism or phase. If you want to make sure that every child leaves your class knowing the rules and how to use them, this is the book for you. If you think that literacy is difficult, or boring, or not your responsibility, be ready to be proved wrong. Discover practical activities, spelling strategies, tips for teaching punctuation and grammar guides that are anything but didactic and dull.

    writing is music, then which element of writing plays the melody and which plays the rhythm?” The correct response eventually appears. To really get kids to understand the importance of punctuation the music analogy is useful. If they can come to some appreciation that, to be truly great, contemporary music has to have a groove, and that writing is, somehow, a related art form, then they can come to respect the chief purveyors of the rhythm: punctuation and sentence length

    One of Kofi Annan’s statements about literacy is that it is a “basic human right”. If we take a look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, literacy can get you all of them (except breathing and excretion, which tend to happen without the aid of improving books). It can be the basis of supplying most of your physiological needs: it can get you food, water and sometimes (often) sex; it can win you sleep in a comfortable bed; it can keep you safe and win you love; it can earn you the respect of others and respect for yourself; it can enter you into the realms of political and moral understanding in which you might play, exercise the muscles in your head and become … all of the things you could, one day, with effort, possibly be.
