This practical book, written by experienced practitioners, will help teachers of pupils with Special Educational Needs assess, record and improve the literacy skills of their pupils. The creation of the National Literacy Strategy and the Literacy Hour has put additional demands upon teachers, particularly those concerned with Special Needs.
The book covers all aspects of literacy development through the Early and Primary Years including early skills, reading, phonological skills, writing, spelling and handwriting. This resource pack includes advice and ideas on record keeping with Individual Education Plans, assessing pupils' skills and strategies for future learning.
It contains photocopiable checklists and assessment sheets for both teacher and pupil to complete and has clear child-friendly illustrated worksheets throughout. An indispensable resource for all classrooms.
'Many teachers feel they need help in meeting children's special needs within the literacy hour. Heather Duncan's and Sarah Parkhouse's pack aims to offer teachers just this kind of practical support. - Olivia O'Sullivan, Times Educational Supplement
'... when you look at the content you will see that here is a resource which you can make good use of. The material included shows many signs one would expect from something that has been produced by two ex-SENCOs. It is very well organised, synchronised with the National Literacy Strategy, and offering clear targets which can be incorporated into IEPs. A resource to be recommended. - Susan Pursell, Special (the official magazine of NASEN)
