Practical and purposeful literacy strategies / written by Mary-Ellen Betts, Sam Phillips ; art production, Bruce Rowan.
"Oral language is the window into a child's learning. The use of dice, games, jigsaws and hoops encourages students to talk about their learning while engaged in fun activities. All the strategies in the book are based on the teacher modelling the learning experience and 'thinking aloud'. Teachers can try an activity as outlined in the book and then modify it to meet various text types and teaching needs. There are suggestions for every activity as to how it can be adapted to suit all grades and specific teaching purposes. The authors of this book are highly experienced teachers who have worked in a variety of classrooms across New South Wales and New York city. They have endeavoured to give busy teachers a clear picture of what explicit teaching can look like. They have then added all the practical teaching materials needed. This book is truly practical and purposeful." -- Back cover. "This book was written for all those teachers who see an idea and modify it to suit their needs. We have attempted to show you how every strategy in the book can be adapted for all states and how an idea can be adapted to teacher a different grammatical point in a different type of text." -- Introduction.
