Read and Respond EngageHas it made a difference to the way in which you teach your subject? As a Primary Arts advisor I would recommend that teachers consider using Read and Respond Engage. I recently led a day of Drama into Literacy for Y5 and 6 children on Victorian child labour, and think that the unit Street Child by Berlie Doherty could be effectively used for follow-up and support. No matter how creative we teachers are, and what innovative and unusual ideas we come up with, every one of us has our own comfort z... More ... |

It is primarily aimed at years 4, 5 and 6; however we have used it with more able, gifted and talented year 3 pupils. The format works very well alongside existing fiction guided reading schemes or whole texts used in guided reading/independent reading sessions. It helps to introduce pupils to non-fiction in an engaging format, using up to date... More ... |

Collins Primary Literacy SchemeWe have been using this resource in school for the last 2 years. Initially we decided to trial it with only one year group (year 7s) to test suitability before we spent a lot of money buying it in for the whole school. The Year 7 teacher was so impressed by it that the following year it was ordered into the other classes. This is the second year that I have been using it. If I’m honest it is only really in the last 8 months that I have started to use it fully. I have a composite Yr2/3 ... More ... |
