Key features include: Case studies of real student experiences Samples of learners' writing with commentary and analysis Application of linguistic theory to literacy teaching Practical suggestions for teaching, planning and assessment Guidance on supporting learners with dyslexia and global learning difficulties Reflective tasks, encouraging readers to develop and apply their knowledge This book is an invaluable resource for trainee teachers studying on literacy specialist courses leading to teaching qualifications, as well as for experienced practitioners wishing to update and deepen their practice.

  • Very useful teaching aid

    I’m designing a course that requires literacy content and my teaching of goes back to City & Guilds, so am using this book as a refresher and reference book. It has been very helpful in developing contemporary modules within the course. Really useful teaching aid!
