Prim-Ed Publishing Teaching Writing Strategies
Book SynopsisTeaching Writing Strategies is a series of six books using 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 ContentsTeachers Notes .................................................................................................. iv–v Class Recording Sheets Assessment Activities ................................................................................... vi–ix Assessment Writing ....................................................................................... x–xi Pupil Writing Checklist ......................................................................................... xii Pupil 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 and Adverbials ................................................................... 14–19 Unit 4 Verbs: Tense, Matching Verbs ...................................................... 20–25 Assessment ................................................................................................ 26–29 SENTENCE STRUCTURE Unit 5 Sentences, Word Order, 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, Short Sentences .......................................... 58–63 Unit 10 Full Stops, Capital Letters, Proper Nouns and Commands ........ 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

John Catt Educational Ltd How to Teach Computer Science: Parable, practice
Book SynopsisThis book is for new or aspiring computer science teachers wishing to improve their subject knowledge and gain confidence in the classroom. And it's for experienced computer science teachers who wish to hone their practice, in particular in the areas of explicit instruction, tackling misconceptions and exploring pedagogical content knowledge. You will read some of the backstory to our subject – the "hinterland" – those fascinating journeys into history that make the subject come alive and place it in historical context. These stories will help you to enrich your lessons, cement core knowledge, develop cultural capital and help you excite a life-long love for the subject. We will go beyond the mark scheme to explore the subject knowledge behind the answers, giving you the confidence to discuss the field in greater depth, enabling you to use explicit instruction methods: presenting skills and concepts clearly and directly enabling student mastery. We will explore misconceptions that arise when teaching our subject, so you can "head them off at the pass". And we will look at teaching ideas – the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) – exploring the helpful analogies, questions and activities that work for each topic: practices that can be lifted and dropped straight into the classroom to immediately enhance your teaching. Trainee or pre-service teachers, NQTs and early-career teachers will find this book invaluable, experienced teachers will find it inspiring, and all will benefit from a fresh look at the hinterland and subject pedagogy that makes computer science a fascinating subject to teach.

John Catt Educational Ltd Pupil Book Study: Reading: An evidence-informed
Book Synopsis'Pupil Book Study: Reading' provides evidence-led structures to shine a light on the true impact of a school’s reading provision. Building on the global success of the original Pupil Book Study frameworks, this guide translates these principles into practice to support leaders and teachers to evaluate their reading curriculum.The catch-all term ‘reading’ covers a wide-spanning aspect of schools’ provision, which is acknowledged to be central to pupils’ long-term success and well-being. It is vital that we have robust and meaningful mechanisms in schools to help us understand which aspects of this are working well and what might need further development. This requires us to examine each aspect of our reading provision in turn, through a lens which acknowledges the disciplinary differences between how we might approach teaching different elements of the reading curriculum. 'Pupil Book Study: Reading' provides the tools and structures to achieve this.Coherent approaches and tried and tested structures for talking to pupils about their reading help teachers and leaders to avoid assumptions and get under the skin of their reading provision. Headteachers and senior leaders who have undertaken 'Pupil Book Study: Reading' report that it has lifted the veil on their reading provision, allowing them to see, with clarity, how to refine and develop their offer.

Future Horizons Incorporated Autism & Reading Comprehension: Ready-to-use
Book SynopsisWho better to create a teaching curriculum than a teacher who is facing the very same challenges? When he began teaching, Joseph Porter was shocked to discover that he couldn't find any effective reading-comprehension curricula for students with autism spectrum disorders. Through daily trial and error, he developed effective lesson plans. Now, he shares his success with his fellow educators. This book includes over 90 hours of easy-to-follow lessons, student worksheets, and countless ideas for extending and customizing the material. As an added bonus, the bound-in CD provides printable worksheets and helpful teaching supplements!Trade ReviewThis book is packed with practical, easy-to-use material. It is also an unbelievable value. The author is a teacher who had to figure these things out on his own, without the benefit of excellent materials like this book. He created this material, test-drove it in his classroom, adapting and fine tuning it until it was ready to be shared. He wrote it to make teaching reading to a child with autism easier for you and for the child. Highly recommended for every teacher of children with autism. Five stars out of five."—Special Needs AlmanacTable of Contents Introduction The Program's Overall Structure Before You Teach Teaching the Lesson The Sentence-building Exercises Appendix Additional Resources References
