Raising Literacy Achievement in the Primary School focuses on identifying pupils who demonstrate outstanding ability in language, literacy and communication skills, and developing strategies to enable their progression in reading and writing. Taking into account recent changes in technology and their impact upon text construction, the author covers a range of multimedia methods of communication, including blogs and podcasts, along with more conventional prose, screenplays and poetry, to develop activities and exercises for gifted and talented pupils.
Incorporating a critique of school policies and an exploration of attitudes towards gifted and talented pupils, with practical ideas for the classroom, this book covers:
- how to identify more able pupils
- working with parents and engaging them in their children's learning
- personalised learning for gifted and talented pupils
- assessment for learning
- benchmarks for more able pupils
- practical suggestions for challenging pupils.
This book offers invaluable advice for undergraduates, gifted and talented coordinators and practising teachers who wish to identify, develop and encourage those pupils who are gifted and talented in English, and raise expectations and standards throughout the school.
