This is an exciting new series of photocopiable literacy resources from Andrew Brodie aimed at lower ability children in mainstream classrooms who need 'additional or different help' (one in six children fall into this category). The series of 6 titles (one for each year group) is designed for class teachers & also very significantly for classroom assistants (LSAs). Every primary school now employs several assistants & their status & role is growing enormously. Supporting Literacy" has clearly laid out activities which focus on particular learning 'targets' that have been carefully selected & researched by the author team. All lower ability children are given targets to achieve & these books will feature the targets that are common to most schools & most children (eg. learning high frequency words, correcting b/d confusion). Each target will be addressed by one or more worksheet & the National Curriculum level of the sheets will also be clearly flagged to the teacher for planning & diagnostic purposes."
