Literacy Resources

Really Useful Literacy Resources

There is an abundance of amazing online resources to support literacy development in the classroom. As we continue to address literacy accross the curriculum, the blog will become a central hub for us all to share ideas and resources with each other. Here are a ideas that can be used in any subject to explore language and vocabulary. One of my favourites is WORDLE which allows you to create visual 'word clouds' on any topic/theme/combination of words. It makes a fantastic activity/homework/display tool that encourages thought and exploration of language: Here is the link and some examples:

Examples of sentence starters to use when analysing language/presentational devices.

Welcome

Welcome to Failsworth Learning Zone- a dedicated online space for our school community to share and showcase best practice; to disseminate research, resources, training materials and advice with colleagues, and to open dialogue about Learning and Teaching and other matters at the heart of our school community.

Sustained school improvement is most likely when CPD processes sit at the very heart of school life.

In order for Failsworth School to move from requires improvement to good and good to outstanding, we need to build capacity for improvement by creating an ethos, culture and set of expectations within which people can flourish and be empowered to drive change by contributing to the professional development of colleagues.

This blog will therefore be a platform to:

1. support ALL staff in realising their continuing professional development ambitions through a culture of sharing, modelling and professional learning.

2. help raise standards at Failsworth School in order to move us towards Outstanding!
