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 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.

Harvard Educational Publishing Group Ambitious Science Teaching
Book SynopsisAmbitious Science Teaching outlines a powerful framework for science teaching to ensure that instruction is rigorous and equitable for students from all backgrounds. The practices presented in the book are being used in schools and districts that seek to improve science teaching at scale, and a wide range of science subjects and grade levels are represented.The book is organized around four sets of core teaching practices: planning for engagement with big ideas; eliciting student thinking; supporting changes in students’ thinking; and drawing together evidence-based explanations. Discussion of each practice includes tools and routines that teachers can use to support students’ participation, transcripts of actual studentteacher dialogue and descriptions of teachers’ thinking as it unfolds, and examples of student work. The book also provides explicit guidance for “opportunity to learn” strategies that can help scaffold the participation of diverse students.Since the success of these practices depends so heavily on discourse among students, Ambitious Science Teaching includes chapters on productive classroom talk. Science-specific skills such as modeling and scientific argument are also covered.Drawing on the emerging research on core teaching practices and their extensive work with preservice and in-service teachers, Ambitious Science Teaching presents a coherent and aligned set of resources for educators striving to meet the considerable challenges that have been set for them.
