Putting skills in cross-curricular literacy at the top of the agenda for KS3
With effective literacy identified as the key to raising standards, three supplementary series – targeting spelling, grammar and composition – have been developed to encourage confident writers across the curriculum.
Each series adopts a consistent three-stage approach to developing students’ skills: - Reading and discussion of the stimulus text. - Using the stimulus text as a model. - Moving on to writing an original piece.
All learning of linguistic features is placed firmly in the context of real texts, spanning a comprehensive range of fiction and non-fiction text-types.
With the non-specialist in mind, Framework-recommended lesson plans are provided for every unit, as well as extension material and photocopiable worksheets for writing reinforcement.
Reviewer's Comments
“What is most appealing about this book is its simplicity. Although written with the cross curricular aspects of Key Stage 3 in mind it manages to avoid becoming enmeshes in its complexities.” Write First 1, Times Educational Supplement
