Connecting Literacy targets whole-school literacy improvement for Secondary students and teachers. What is Connecting Literacy? A developmental literacy program for Secondary schools, including: 3 student folios 3 teacher books 100s of video lessons hosted by literacy consultant, Hayley Harrison. Who is Connecting Literacy for? Secondary school students and teachers who: are embarking on whole-school literacy improvement, OR integrate literacy skills in the English classroom, OR attend a timetabled literacy block. How does Connecting Literacy work? With cumulative skill development over three books where students: Model: read and annotate an ‘anchor text’ – an authentic piece of student writing Practise: complete units of work in class or as homework with video support from Hayley Harrison, literacy coach Apply: draft their own text directly into the writing pages included in each student folio. Why do you need Connecting Literacy? Flexibility: Use the series over three consecutive years or use the student folios in parallel to differentiate, support and extend. Support: Video lessons, teacher books with answers and suggested programs, a literacy skills ‘toolkit’ and on-demand P.D. sessions will support experienced and out-of-discipline teachers alike. Evidence: Student folios are designed as a learning pathway with built-in student reflection, metacognition and formative assessment (with developmental rubrics). Whole-school: Use Connecting Literacy to underpin your whole school literacy plan and create a common metalanguage around literacy.
