Getting it ‘Write’ for Donaldson Year 5 and 6
This new two-day training programme focuses on supporting teachers to create opportunities for rich literacy learning, enabling learners to develop, apply and embed oracy, reading and writing skills across the curriculum. ‘Competence in literacy, including competence in the spoken word, syntax and spelling, is essential for learning across the curriculum, not least because of the fundamental role of language in thinking. The key to developing command of these skills lies not in repetition and drill for significant periods of time during the school day but in a sound understanding of their essential components supported by developmentally appropriate teaching and learning and rich contexts within which they can be reinforced, extended and applied.’ Outline Day One: Morning session in a host school where teachers will present how the use of the Lively Literacy/Getting it ‘Write’ pedagogy, planning guidance and units of work meet the demands of Donaldson and enable learners to become ambitious capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives. • Book Look to identify outcomes generated by use of the Lively Literacy/ GIW approach • Learning Walk to identify the ways in which the learning environment supports oracy, reading and writing skills across the curriculum. • Observation of a 30-minute Lively Literacy/ GIW lesson and follow on discussion with the class teacher.
