1 Where are we (and where are you) with literacy?
2 Who are your key players and what do you need to do next?
3 Developing practical approaches …

SECTION 1:
So where are we with whole-school literacy?
Reasonable but horrible
questions …
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
1 - Name one child who has improved their reading or writing
based on a literacy initiative at your school?
2 - If you have a literacy working party, how much money do their
salaries represent?
3 - If I asked 3 of your staff what your whole-school policy said, what
would they reply?
4 - What do your best teachers do to help students read, write, think
and spell better? How do you know?
5 - If literacy is important, is it part of all lesson observations?
Reviews? Performance management?
English Review 2000-05
October 2005: Key findings
English is one of the best taught subjects in both primary and secondary schools.
October 2005: Key findings
Standards of writing have improved as a result of guidance from the national strategies Some teachers give too little thought to ensuring that pupils fully consider the audience, purpose and content for their writing.
October 2005: Key findings
Schools do not always seem to understand the importance of pupils’ talk in developing both reading and writing. Myhill and Fisher: ‘spoken language forms a constraint, a ceiling not only on the ability to comprehend but also on the ability to write, beyond which literacy cannot progress’. Too many teachers appear to have forgotten that speech ‘supports and propels writing forward’. Pupils do not improve writing solely by doing more of it; good quality writing benefits from focused discussion that gives pupils a chance to talk through ideas before writing and to respond to friends’ suggestions.
October 2005: Key findings
The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2003: although the reading skills of 10 year old pupils in England compared well with those of pupils in other countries, they read less frequently for pleasure and were less interested in reading than those elsewhere.
NFER 2003: children’s enjoyment of reading had declined significantly in recent years
A Nestlé/MORI report : ‘underclass’ of non-readers, plus cycles of non-reading ‘where teenagers from families where parents are not readers will almost always be less likely to be enthusiastic readers themselves’.
October 2005: Key findings
The role of teaching assistants was described in the report as ‘increasingly effective’.
October 2005: Key findings
Despite the Strategy, weaknesses remain, including:
the stalling of developments as senior management teams focus on other initiatives lack of robust measures to evaluate the impact of developments across a range of subjects a focus on writing at the expense of reading, speaking and listening.
Implications for you …?
Writing: is there an understanding across any teams
of how to develop writing - eg how to get better evaluations, better essays, better scientific
writing?
Reading: Who is teaching reading? Has reading for pleasure slipped
from your radar?
S&L: Does it happen systematically anywhere to
develop thinking and to model writing?
Leadership: Has your leadership team lost interest in literacy? How
will you reignite interest?

What’s the latest news?
LITERACY LATEST!QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.
• The standard of writing has improved in recent years but still lags 20% behind reading at all key stages (eg around 60% of students get level 4 at KS2 in writing, compared to 80% in reading).
• Writing has improved as a result of the National Strategy.
• S&L has a big role in writing - it allows students to rehearse ideas and structures and builds confidence.
• But S&L has lower status because of assessment weightings.
• In teaching writing we tend to focus too much on end-products rather than process (eg frames). We should think more about composition - how ideas are found and framed, how choices are made, how to decide about the medium, how to draft and edit.
• We are still stuck with a narrow range of writing forms and need to emphasise creativity in non-fiction forms.
• We need to rediscover the excitement of writing.
What we know about Writing …

LITERACY LATEST!QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.
• Who’s actually teaching writing in our school?
• Is there a shared understanding of what helps pupils to write?
• How can we teach composition?
• Which teams could have a particular impact if they developed a shared approach to writing?
• How is speaking & listening being used to help pupils to write?
• Is there a school or departmental approach to S&L?
• Where should we start?
Some implications for us …
LITERACY LATEST!QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.
• Aged 7: children in the top quartile have 7100 words; children in the lowest have around 3000. The main influence in parents.
• Using and explaining high-level words is a key to expanding vocabulary. A low vocabulary has a negative effect throughout schooling.
• Declining reading comprehension from 8 onwards is largely a result of low vocabulary. Vocabulary aged 6 accounts for 30% of reading variance aged 16.
• Catching up becomes very difficult. Children with low vocabularies would have to learn faster than their peers (4-5 roots words a day) to catch up within 5-6 years.
• Vocabulary is built via reading to children, getting children to read themselves, engaging in rich oral language, encouraging reading and talking at home
• In the classroom it involves: defining and explaining word meanings, arranging frequent encounters with new words in different contexts, creating a word-rich environment, addressing vocabulary learning explicitly, selecting appropriate words for systematic instruction/reinforcement, teaching word-learning strategies
What we know about vocabulary …

LITERACY LATEST!QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressorare needed to see this picture.
• Teach 10 words per week - by whom, when, where?
• Ensure key pupils are read to with vocabulary explanations
• Teach new words in a text prior to reading
• Encourage questions about word meanings
• Display key words and meanings
• Have a glossary in the planner
• See tutor time as a literacy kick-starter each day
Some implications for us …
LITERACY LATEST!QuickTime™ and a

Characteristics: 2/3 boys. Generally well-behaved. Positive in outlook. “Invisible” to teachers. Keen to respond but unlikely to think first. Persevere with tasks, especially with tasks that are routine. Lack self-help strategies. Stoical, patient, resigned.
Reading: they over-rely on a limited range of strategies and lack higher order reading skills
Writing: struggle to combine different skills simultaneously. Don’t get much chance for oral rehearsal, guided writing, precise feedback
S&L: don’t see it as a key tool in thinking and writing
Targets: set low-level targets; overstate functional skills; infrequently review progress
What we know about students who make slow progress …

Background: concerns from employers about GCSE. Key skills effective but not mainstream.
Intention: students won’t be able to get A*-C without mastering level 2 functional elements. Could be standalone qualification. Won’t be solely multi-choice.
Currently: being trialled. Watch this space.

What we know about Literacy Across the Curriculum
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• Good literacy skills are a key factor in raising standards across all subjects
• Language is the main medium we use for teaching, learning and developing thinking, so it is at the heart of teaching and learning
• Literacy is best taught as part of the subject, not as an add-on
• All teachers need to give explicit attention to the literacy needed in their subject.
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• Literacy skills are taught consistently and systematically across the curriculum
• Expectation of standards of accuracy and presentation are similar in all classrooms
• Teachers are equipped to deal with literacy issues in their subject both generically and specifically
• The same strategies are used across the school: the teaching sequence for writing; active reading strategies; planning speaking and listening for learning
• Teachers use the same terminology to describe language.
Consistency in literacy
is achieved when …
• Senior managers are actively involved in the planning and monitoring
• Audits and action planning are rigorous• Monitoring focuses on a range of approaches, e.g.
classroom observation, work scrutiny as well as formal tests
• Time is given to training, its dissemination and embedding
• Schools work to identified priorities.

SECTION 2:
Working with the key players
Focus relentlessly on T&L
“Schools are places where the pupils go to watch the teachers working” (John West-Burnham)
“For many years, attendance at school has been required (for children and for teachers) while learning at school
has been optional.” (Stoll, Fink & East)
‘Standards are raised ONLY by changes which are put into direct effect by
teachers and pupils in classrooms’
Black and Wiliam,
‘Inside the Black Box’
Key players

Governors
Teaching assistants
Subject leaders
Students!
Librarian
Tutors
Key players
Strategy manager
• Focus, tailor, customise
• See as professional development rather than delivery
• Differentiate training
• Emphasise monitoring more than initiatives
• Use pupil surveys for learning & teaching
Headteacher
Must be actively involved as head TEACHER
Eg monitoring books, breakfast with students, feedback to staff
Must be seen in lessons
Must be reined in to prioritise
Librarian
Key part in improving literacy
Include in training
Part of curriculum meetings
Library should embody good practice - eg key words, guidance on retrieving information, visual excitement
Active training for students, breaking down subject barriers
Get a library commitment from every team
Then sample to monitor it
Governors
Visit library, get in classrooms, talk to students
Clearly signal the “literacy” focus
Emphasise s/he’s discussing consistency
Sample of students and feedback
Part of faculty reviews on (say) how we teach writing
Working party
Maintain or disband?
Less doing and more evaluating - questionnaires, looking at handouts, working around rooms, talking to students
Asking questions: “What do teachers here do that helps you to understand long texts better?”
Work sampling
Creating a critical mass
Students
Tell us how we’re doing
Build into school council
Small groups work with faculty teams to guide and evaluate
Audit rooms for key words, etc
Teaching Assistants
• Make them literacy experts
• Let them lead training
• Make their monitoring role explicit
• Publish their feedback
Subject leaders
• Help them to identify the 3 bits of literacy that will have the biggest impact
• Prioritise one per term or year
• Join their meetings at start and end of process
• Help them to keep it simple
• Provide models and sample texts
• Evaluate
• Build literacy into their team’s performance management
Tutors
• Reconceptualise tutor time as creating an ethos for learning / reviewing targets
• Think therefore how the environment of tutor groups could embody good practice - key words, glossaries, approaches to reading and spelling, connectives
• Reject silent reading and replace with literacy-based quizzes, etc
• Make the school planner a central document for literacy

1. Don’t call it literacy - call it good learning & teaching, or writing, or reading
2. Build it into lesson observation sheets
3. Build it into performance management
4. Keep it in the public eye

• Fun, li ke ICT interactive whiteboard, playing games, practical and group work What activities do you not enjoy? Why? What do you find difficult? What would help?
• Tests – some are useful and some are not • Practical lessons are good • Don’t li ke teachers constantly talking in French. I get behind and de-motivated • Don’t li ke having to speak in front of the class – feel under pressure and worried • Panic when asked to speak and don’t know how
How do you learn best? What helps you learn in other lessons?
• Objectives are sometimes set – but doesn’t make any diff erence • I li ke to have some group work and some formal writing • Reinforcing the talking with writing rather than just talking and then moving on and talking
some more • Group work • Games • When behaviour is good. Behaviour is good in languages
How do you feel during MFL lessons? What makes you feel this way?
- Bored – 1 student - Interested – 1 student - Enjoy – 1 student - Tired – 1 student - Don’t know – 4 students
Consensus from interviews - languages is “ok” but not a subject which students would wish to choose to take further. Group consensus that about 30% of the lessons are enjoyable. Most students preferred languages in the Middle School – more practical, games, etc
Of all the ways the teacher gets you to learn about things which do you enjoy the most?
• Activities – not writing, nothing intimidating. More discussion, needs to be variety (maths now = all from books)
• Biology = copy from board – don’t even read it • VA Ki in French to analyse own learning • If teachers drone on = some of us don’t have the attention span • Unfairness about time given to complete coursework ie some = meet deadlines. Others = 3 months
late so have extra 3 months to work on it • Too many tests in short space of time • Would help if dif ferent subject teachers could talk to each other so we do not get all coursework
assignments at the same time. Of all the ways the teacher gets you to learn about things, which do you enjoy least?
• Vague questions that you don’t know what it means • I think we should be setted for English because it could be more challenging too long on one piece
of work would be helpful, disruptive people were in difficult group • Humanities – go round and round in circles because don’t have specialist teachers. Spend time
trying to manage behaviour

IMPACT!
LITERACY IMPACT!QuickTime™ and a

• General teaching approaches to writing, handouts, vocabulary development
• Specific approaches in humanities / scientific teaching?
• Culturally - in S&L, tutor time, the physical environment
What are the core literacy skills needed by teachers?
Reading Writing Speaking & listening Use layout and language to make texts accessible –
eg white space, typographical features,
summaries, bullets, short paragraphs
Be clear and explicit about the conventions
of the writing you expect from students – eg audience, purpose,
layout, key words and phrases, level of
formality
Using a variety of groupings for structured
talk – pairs, same-sex, friendship, triads, ability
groups
Using a range of strategies to support students’
reading – eg reading aloud, key words and glossaries,
word banks, display, paired reading, talking about texts
before answering
Providing assessment criteria and models of appropriate text types
Setting objectives for talk and providing language
models – eg level of formality, key words and
phrases
Spelling – marking no more than 3-5 key
spellings per work, writing the correct spelling in the
margin with the error identified; students putting these into spelling pages in
the middle of exercise books; using starters /
word games / mnemonics / display / rules / words
within words to support students’ spelling
Using shared composition to show students how to write
Providing alternatives to traditional Q&A
approaches – eg open questions, thinking time, big questions, no-hands, paired consultation time,
dealing with answers, prompts, answer starters
Essential literacy rooted in professional development

Readability …
Morphine, C17H19NO3, is the most abundant of opium’s 24 alkaloids, accounting for 9 to 14% of opium-extract by mass. Named after the Roman god of dreams, Morpheus, who also became the god of slumber, the drug morphine, appropriately enough, numbs pain, alters mood and induces sleep. Morphine and its related synthetic derivatives, known as opioids, are so far unbeatable at dulling chronic or so-called “slow” pain, but unfortunately they are all physically addictive. During the American Civil War, 400 000 soldiers became addicted to morphine.
Morphine is a powerful sleeping drug. It is named after Morpheus, the Roman god of slumber and is famous for numbing pain, changing our moods and making people sleepy. With its related forms (known as opioids) it is unbeatable at dulling severe pain. However, it is also highly addictive and in the American Civil War 400 000 soldiers became addicted to it. Morphine is also known as C17H19NO3 and is made from an extract of opium (a seed in poppy plants).

Aim for:• spacious presentation (as much
white page as black text)• use of typographical features:
• headlines and subheadings• bold, italic, underline,
different font styles and sizes (though not too many in a single document)
• boxes, shaded panels, vertical lines to add visual interest
• use of columns to make reading more efficient
• short paragraphs • glossary of key words
Avoid:• densely-packed writing• cramped margins• excessive use of upper case
lettering• poor reprographics • lack of images / typographical
