Literacy Morning

 

Following on from the success of our Numeracy Morning last term, we invited parents and Governors to school to see literacy lessons taking place and to find out how we had been developing the teaching of literacy over the past two years. In that time the school has adopted the Read, Write, Inc. approach to the teaching of phonics; developed new, highly structured ways of teaching fiction and non-fiction writing; as well as completely revising the way we teach spellings.

These are the comments from the parents and governors who took part:

“Very impressed with the teaching – all styles! And excellently behaved children. Well done!”

“A lovely way to spend a morning and to see how well the children are learning.”

“Enjoyed the classroom session. Sense of structure and direction.”

“Interesting to see how literacy is used after the Read, Write, Inc. scheme. Very helpful.”

“Thank you for an interesting and informative morning. Please congratulate staff and children on their enthusiasm.”

“I really like the fact that different styles are being taught.”

“A lovely opportunity to see a real lesson. Excellent ideas to take home too. Thank you!”

“Lovely to see children enjoying the literacy sessions.”

“Very helpful to see how Read, Write, Inc. is taught. Will help at home.”

Enjoyed this session. Very impressed with the lesson!”

“Interesting to see how literacy is being taught. Feel more confident in helping at home.”

“Fascinating to see the huge changes in learning styles over the last few years.”

“Thank you! Very informative and great to see consistent and creative work.”

“Fun to watch! A good ‘window’ in on how it all works. Each child participates and seems to be enjoying the lesson. I liked that each child shows their work to the teacher, so work can be discussed there and then.”

“Enjoyed the morning. We watched our class following instructions.”

“Very much enjoyed the morning – great work!”

“All the children seemed to be very happy and enjoying the learning experience. Well done!”
