John Catt Educational Ltd Thinking Reading: What every secondary teacher
Book SynopsisDespite the efforts of teachers and educators, every year secondary schools across the English-speaking world turn out millions of functionally illiterate leavers. The costs in human misery and in wasted productivity are catastrophic. What can schools do to prevent this situation? In this highly accessible book James and Dianne Murphy combine more than 50 years of experience to provide teachers with a thorough, easy to use introduction to the extensive research on reading and its effects on student achievement. Drawing on the work of experts from around the world, the authors explore how we learn to read, how the many myths and misconceptions around reading developed, and why they continue to persist.Building on these foundations chapters go on to examine how the general secondary school classroom can support all levels of reading more effectively, regardless of subject; how school leaders can ensure that their systems, practices and school culture deliver the very best literacy provision for all students; and what it takes to ensure that a racing intervention aimed at adolescent struggling readers is truly effective. The overall message of this books is one of great optimism: the authors demonstrate that the right of every child to learn to read is entirely achievable if schools employ the best research-driven practice.Trade Review'There is a powerful moral mission at the core of 'Thinking Reading': to ensure that no child leaves school unable to read. From the start of this important book, readers know they are in the hands of experts who can bridge the gap between extensive research and what we can do as teachers and leaders in our school contexts. We are left both informed and inspired to move beyond superficial quick fixes to reading. Essential reading for anyone involved in education' --Jamie Thom, English teacher, author 'Slow Teaching' This book combines passion and pragmatism - it makes a compelling case that with the right approach all pupils can be successful in reading and then lays out practical steps that can help ensure teachers achieve that end. It will be a useful and motivating guide for all teachers. --Doug Lemov, author (Teach Like a Champion, Reading Reconsidered, Practice Perfect), MD at Uncommon Schools. I love this book! It is a call to arms to any secondary teacher who wishes to empower their students through effective reading instruction. The authors have combined a vast catalogue of research with clear, practical classroom application, employing empirically supported strategies to offer teachers a 'best bet' in helping students learn to read with proficiency and pleasure. --Claire Hill, head of English James and Dianne Murphy bring together research and teaching experience to address reading difficulties in secondary school. Secondary reading is a much neglected topic and there is rising awareness that appropriate strategies and resources are sorely needed. The book fills this gap and is essential reading for any secondary teacher who is concerned about their pupils' reading abilities but does not feel equipped to support them.'

Prim-Ed Publishing Teaching Writing Strategies
Book SynopsisTeaching Writing Strategies uses modelling, guided and independent practice to teach pupils strategies they can use to improve the clarity, correctness and richness of their writing. The focus is on sentences, their structure, punctuation and word choices and on developing editing and proofreading skills and their habitual use. Teaching Writing Strategies is a series of six books with the explicit, overarching aim of teaching the skills and strategies required to improve the clarity, correctness and richness of children’s writing. Within the series, children are taught to recognise, choose and use specific strategies. The focus is on the process, rather than on practising, in this instance, specific text types. To this end, priority is given to improving writing at the sentence level. There is a strong hands-on emphasis; that is, there is an expectation that the children will write to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. Unlike many other writing activity books, the desired outcome is to have the children structuring correct, enriched sentences to more clearly convey ideas and information. The ultimate goal is for them to produce clear, precise writing for a specific purpose and to understand that proofreading and editing is an integral part of the writing process. Each of the 16 units has a page of assessment activities and an assessment writing topic. These should be worked on independently and will: (a) give the teacher a record of individual understanding and achievement; and (b) highlight common points of weakness, which may require further assistance. Teacher recording sheets, a pupil proofreading checklist and a pupil self-evaluation sheet are provided.Table of ContentsTeacher Notes ....................................................................................................................... iv–v Class Recording Sheets Assessment Activities ..................................................................................................... vi–ix Assessment Writing Tasks ................................................................................................ x–xi Pupil Writing Checklist ........................................................................................................... xii Pupil Writing Task – Self-evaluation ..................................................................................... xiii Curriculum Links ............................................................................................................... xiv–xv WORD CHOICES Unit 1 Nouns, Noun Groups and Adjectives .......................................................... 2–7 Unit 2 Pronouns, Confusing Pronouns (Me/I), Which Pronoun? ......................... 8–13 Unit 3 Verbs, Descriptive and Overused Verbs, Adverbials ............................... 14–19 Unit 4 Choosing Correct Verbs: Tense, Consistency, Subject, Regular, Irregular ....................................................................... 20–25 Assessment................................................................................................................... 26–29 SENTENCE STRUCTURE Unit 5 Sentences, Word Order, Statements, Questions .................................... 30–35 Unit 6 Sentence Beginnings ............................................................................... 36–41 Unit 7 Conjunctions ............................................................................................ 42–47 Unit 8 Paragraphs ............................................................................................... 48–53 Assessment................................................................................................................... 54–57 PUNCTUATION Unit 9 Using Punctuation in Sentences ............................................................. 58–63 Unit 10 Full Stops, Capital Letters, Commas, Direct Speech ............................. 64–69 Unit 11 Apostrophes in Contractions .................................................................. 70–75 Unit 12 Apostrophes for Possession .................................................................... 76–81 Assessment................................................................................................................... 82–85 EDITING AND PROOFREADING Unit 13 Spelling (Vowel Sounds), Sentence Structure, Punctuation, Word Choices, Editing ....................................................... 86–91 Unit 14 Spelling (More Vowel Sounds), Sentence Structure, Punctuation, Word Choices, Editing ....................................................... 92–97 Unit 15 Spelling (Suffixes) Sentence Structure, Punctuation, Word Choices, Editing ..................................................... 98–103 Unit 16 Spelling (Homophones), Sentence Structure, Punctuation, Word Choices, Editing ................................................... 104–109 Assessment............................................................................................................... 110–113

Prim-Ed Publishing Comprehension Through Cloze Book 6: Combining
Book SynopsisDetailed drawings and interesting text make up this collection of comprehension activities. The book provides two distinct sections relating to each drawing and text: 1. Cloze activity pages: Each picture-story provides the reader with two exercises. First exercise: The reader is provided with a complete text and shows comprehension by completing the accompanying picture. Second exercise: The reader shows comprehension by completing a cloze task based on the accompanying picture. There is opportunity in some activities for slightly varied answers or drawings. If the answer or drawing provided can be justified by the instruction then it should be seen as acceptable. Cloze comprehension provides an ideal indication of comprehension levels. 2. Comprehension strategy pages: Each text has two additional comprehension pages that focus on a specific comprehension strategy. These pages can be used to teach these comprehension strategies. The texts and activities enable teachers to provide variety to any English language programme. Cloze is a reading comprehension activity in which words are deleted from a text. Readers are required to complete the blanks as they read to construct meaning. When completing a cloze text, readers have to search on either side of the missing word in the sentence to find what should be included. Readers must consider context as well as vocabulary. Cloze is commonly used as an assessment method because of its many advantages. Advantages of cloze: • helps identify reader knowledge and understanding of the reading process; • helps teachers work out the cueing systems readers use to construct meaning; • can assess reader vocabulary and topic knowledge (and can also promote vocabulary production); • helps readers monitor their understanding of a text as they read; • encourages readers to think critically about, and analyse, a text; • reinforces grammatical knowledge because readers need to work out what part of speech is required to fill the gap; and • reinforces syntactical knowledge (the arrangement of words and phrases in a sentence).Table of ContentsTeacher Notes..................................... iv–ix Robo Skipper cloze.....................................................2–3 predicting.......................................... 4–5 Micro-sized cloze.....................................................6–7 visualising.......................................... 8–9 Rescue of H & G cloze..................................................10–11 making connections....................12–13 Spacecraft: Ladybird Class cloze................................................. 14–15 questioning.................................... 16–17 Sand Sculptures Photos cloze................................................. 18–19 clarifying/declunking............... 20–21 Whitewood Forest cloze............................................... 22–23 summarising................................24–25 Portraiture cloze............................................... 26–27 determining importance.........28–29 The Shipwreck cloze...............................................30–31 inferring........................................32–33 Lizard Land cloze...............................................34–35 synthesising.................................36–37 Legionnaires’ Advance cloze...............................................38–39 predicting.....................................40–41 Egyptian Alien cloze...............................................42–43 visualising.................................... 44–45 The Magician cloze.............................................. 46–47 making connections................ 48–49 Volcano cloze............................................... 50–51 questioning..................................52–53 At Last, the Lamp! cloze...............................................54–55 clarifying/declunking...............56–57 Da Vinci Diving Suit cloze...............................................58–59 summarising................................60–61 Nikola Tesla cloze...............................................62–63 determining importance.........64–65 Whoops! cloze...............................................66–67 inferring........................................68–69 Pond Life cloze................................................70–71 synthesising..................................72–73 Zombie Island cloze................................................74–75 predicting..................................... 76–77 Mae Jemison cloze............................................... 78–79 visualising.....................................80–81 Aqua Antics cloze...............................................82–83 making connections.................84–85 Storm cloze...............................................86–87 questioning..................................88–89 Tsunami cloze...............................................90–91 clarifying/declunking............... 92–93 The Street Juggler cloze...............................................94–95 summarising................................96–97 The Skatepark cloze...............................................98–99 determining importance.... 100–101 Feeding Time cloze.......................................... 102–103 inferring...................................104–105 Not What It Seems cloze.......................................... 106–107 synthesising............................108–109 Robbery, Maybe cloze...............................................110–111 predicting.................................... 112–113 Atlantis Found cloze.............................................. 114–115 visualising.................................... 116–117 Witch's Cottage cloze..............................................118–119 making connections.............. 120–121 Tide Times Photos cloze............................................ 122–123 questioning............................... 124–125 Adventure Park Photos cloze............................................ 126–127 clarifying/declunking............128–129 Answers.........................................130–140

Oxford University Press Read Write Inc. Fresh Start Module Green Word
Book SynopsisThis 2017 edition of Read Write Inc. Fresh Start rescues pupils aged 9 and above who are below age-related expectations, using a phonics-based approach. Read Write Inc. Fresh Start gives older pupils who have not yet cracked the ''code of reading'' the chance to catch up and become confident, fluent readers and writers - enabling them to access the secondary curriculum. The Module Green Word Cards feature over 300 decodable words from the Modules and reflect the greater emphasis on vocabulary. On one side of the card, dots and dashes are used to show the graphemes in the word. On the other side, there is an explanation of the word in the context of how it appears in the Module text for the teacher to read out to the group.Trade ReviewI like everything about the new program, the children enjoy and feel confident with the structure of the current program and would move effortlessly to the new structure recognising that there are a few changes but the basis of the program remains the same. I like the fact that the program links more with the current curriculum. * Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School, Oxfordshire *The teaching notes are more prescriptive, clear and concise and they make the planning of lessons much easier. * Romilly Primary School, Barry *These activities are perfect. They provide excellent SAT-type practice questions for grammar and cover what was in Edit 2 in a much better way. The content for the writing and the range of genre are equally perfect. * Ince Church of England Primary School, Wigan *The level of success in reading, spelling and comprehension the children have achieved has been truly amazing. * Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School, Oxfordshire *
