Description

Suitable for student and experienced teachers in secondary classrooms, this text offers a programme of teaching for all pupils in English lessons and through whole-school arrangements for literacy development. Geoff Dean provides an appraisal of approaches to reading and guides the teacher through a rationale for placing particular texts in front of pupils. New ways of considering stages of progression are suggested, and the necessity of re-engaging reluctant readers and of focusing more closely on language knowledge as central to reading growth is emphasized. Dean also explores ways of coordinating these approaches across all subject areas. - from Amzon
