Posted on 15. Sep, 2009 by admin in practice management,


The purpose of the strategy is to raise standards of literacy. The framework for teaching sets out teaching objectives for Reception to Year 6 to enable pupils to become fully literate. The Literacy Hour is designed to provide a practical structure of time and class management which reflects the structure of teaching objectives in the NLS Framework. The framework provides details of WHAT needs to be taught and the Literacy Hour is the MEANS of teaching it.

The intended impact is that whole school plans are developed for the teaching and learning of Literacy, for monitoring progress and for staff development. There is one hour per day of dedicated literacy teaching time for all pupils and hence a clearer focus on literacy instruction.

With regards to classroom practice teachers need to use a wide range of teaching strategies: modelling, demonstration, scaffolding, questioning, initiating and guiding etc. etc. The Literacy Hour consists of time for whole-class shared reading and writing, whole-class word level work, guided reading and writing, and independent work.
