Real Reads – Reawakening literature: working with Classic Literature Retellings – A Guide for Educators

REAL READS are accessible texts designed to support the literacy development of upper primary and secondary age children while introducing them to the riches of international literary heritage. The books can be enjoyed by able readers in middle primary, and allow older children with literacy difficulties to engage with great stories. The books are also useful in the teaching of English as an additional language.

Accessing and sharing important works of literature is often a daunting experience. Jane Campion’s practical guide is designed to support teachers and parents in maximising children’s reading experience. It identifies a range of opportunities for developing reading skills, and for talking about books. It also suggests ways of developing readers’ appreciation and understanding of the cultural and social contexts of these classics of world literature.

The guide is divided into five sections• plot and structure• character• themes

Activities are designed to encourage engagement, strengthen comprehension, and to support the development of more complex skills such as inferential reading. For each activity there is an explanation of the activity with a worked example using one of the REAL READS texts, together with suggestions about how the activity can be extended for the more able.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jane Campion has ten years’ experience of teaching English Language and English Literature, and has been a lead teacher for English. She is a member of the English Association Secondary Education Committee, where she is currently the editor of the association’s journal for secondary teachers, The Use of English.

INTEREST LEVEL 7-14READING AGE 5-7NEW!

Key features The six lowest level books, in Set One, have no words in them, allowing reluctant and struggling readers with the greatest difficulties to engage with narratives. The Set One books are also valuable as starting points for discussion and creative work. Set Two introduces a very limited number of words on each page, with Sets Three and Four offering a further degree of progression.

In all cases the texts focus on high frequency vocabulary, with all words being phonically decodable wherever possible. The highest level Thunderbolts books have a reading level that is below that of Ransom’s popular Trailblazers series.

As with the Trailblazers series, these books combine a non-fiction section with a fiction story on the same topic.

WorkbooksAll of the Thunderbolts reading books are supported by workbooks containing worksheets specific to each title, as well as detailed teacher’s notes and advice on working with the resources. The workbook tasks are varied throughout, to allow a degree of progression as they are used.

GREAT VALUE!SECONDARY LITERACY – TRAILBLAZERS


Trailblazers is a series of books for older children, particularly boys, who are reluctant readers or are struggling to read.The books are beautifully illustrated in full colour, covering topics with high appeal. Each book contains a mix of non-fiction and fiction, beginning with an illustrated non-fiction section, followed by a fiction story based on the topic.

The fiction story appears in two formats – one with simple texts for poor or reluctant readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated “speech bubble” version of the same story, for those who are just starting to read.

“The choice of topics and content appeal to many. Boys

in particular prefer street credible non-fiction and are drawn to the visual information. The fiction story

is an unexpected bonus and a great way to encourage further reading.”

- Victoria Crivelli, Worcestershire

Each workbook contains 8 worksheets for each title. The worksheets are graded, with 4 worksheets designed for pupils experiencing the greatest difficulties, with the remaining 4 being more challenging

PIG from RANSOMENGAGING STORIES - WRITTEN BY PIG HIMSELF


All his friends and family call him Pig. Even the teachers. Pig is 12 and is small for his age. He has sticky-out ears and bright red hair which is also sticky up. He attends Coalpits Road High School (or ‘The Pits’ as it is known locally) and lives with his mum. Pig is small for his age, but says his mum is huge for hers. She is a single mum, but Pig says she looks more like a double mum or even a treble mum.

Kelly, Yaz, Olivia, Eve and Charlotte are GirlfriendZ - the world’s most popular band. But they live at a time when music is forbidden and sinister (‘Music is Banned’) agents hunt down singers and musicians and take them to ‘harmony’ camps, where they are mind-wiped. The girls go on the run, playing secret concerts and using music as a weapon to fight back. Staying one step ahead of MIB is no easy task however. If GirlfriendZ fall into their evil clutches then it really will be the day the music died!

SECONDARY LITERACY – DARK MAN


Dark Man from RANSOMA SUPERHERO FOR RELUCTANT READERS

Meet the Dark Man, a shadowy, brooding loner who shuns society, living in the shadows. Recruited to play a part in a secret, cataclysmic struggle between good and evil, his continuing mission is to seek out an artefact, a Golden Cup, which can channel limitless power and energy. Opposed to him, and also seeking to find this cup of power, is a sinister and corrupt organisation, The Shadow Masters.

Each 32 page paperback book features a self-contained story of between 200 and 400 words, with short sentences, plenty of repetition and a carefully selected vocabulary focusing on high frequency words. The text is laid out clearly on off-white paper (good for any visual impairment).

“The Dark Man series is dark stuff indeed – gritty and full of tension and mystery. Perfectly pitched at reluctant teens and young adults, these short, clever stories also feature memorable artwork and clear layout. Those with a low reading age will want to spend time

with the mysterious Dark Man and follow his ongoing adventures. More power to him!”- Ian Rankin, bestselling author of the Rebus novels

“They’re not boring like most school books, and they

don’t insult my intelligence. The stories are told with very few words which is good

and the illustrations are brilliant.”

Highlights is a new series of original works of fiction aimed at pupils aged 10–15 years who are reading below level.

The stories were specifically written for this audience with each author writing three stories to create a mini-series, thus encouraging the reader to want to read more. Each mini-series is in the same genre. Highlights cover different genres helping readers to learn language associated with the genre.

Each book is supported by full-colour ‘manga style’ illustrations to reinforce and supplement the text. Every right-hand page is a full colour illustration to accompany the text and assist comprehension. The stories are dynamic and use a variety of dramatic devices including changes of perspective and variations of cell size and shape.

age-appropriate• Questions, discussion points and activities relating to the story included in the

back of each book• Low reading levels but gripping high interest-age stories
