For a list of our top 10 network resources including best practice videos and PowerPoints, visit www.literacytrust.org.uk/network/top10. Top five network resources for schools To help you find your way around, we asked members to vote for their top five resources: 1. A showcase of outstanding teaching and learning of writing in a primary school. These video clips and practical tips from Wroxham School offer tonnes of inspiration and our network adviser, Francine McMahon said “This is proof that the teaching of writing never need be boring or mechanical. Steve shows how you can take a simple resource to create an imaginative scheme of work that inspires pupils to write.” 2. 50+ classroom strategies for supporting EAL students. An interview with Mike Gershon in which he explains his top teaching and learning strategies for working with EAL pupils and shares some pearls of wisdom about supporting new arrivals. A really practical resource from an inspirational practitioner. 3. Self-reflection tool for supporting reading in secondary school. This resource helps teachers think about what they do to create better readers, drawing on best practice, research and advice from experts. This resource is one of several self-reflection tools within the network. 4. Making grammar work: A presentation from Debra Myhill. This PowerPoint presentation, with commentary from one of the leading experts in contextualised grammar was a big hit with the founder of the network Sarah De Zoysa, now a primary school teacher in London: “As a teacher, this was so helpful for me – digestible research that can be used in practice.” 5. Exemplar Reading Intervention Process from Bow School in London, with a video explanation from the school’s former Literacy Coordinator. The National Literacy Trust’s Schools Manager Julie Gibbings, commented “The process gives a very clear structure and can be adapted by any school – primary or secondary – to include the interventions and tests that are most appropriate for them.” 16 Find out more at www.literacytrust.org.uk
