Teaching strategies for literacy development

Jenny Jay

Streaming video - 2014

This program has been designed to demonstrate a range of teaching strategies that can be used to support literacy development. These explicit instructional strategies can be used with individual children or with small groups of children. Teachers will find these strategies particularly useful for planning Individual Education Plans for groups of children who have been identified as facing difficulties with literacy. These strategies can be used to complement more commonly used literacy strategies, such as language experience, shared book reading and discussion, modelled reading and writing or guided reading.
