Literacy expert Sharon Callen chats with Kate Tucker, literacy facilitator and teacher at Mt Barker South Primary School, about the top tips in using literature as a powerful force in  literacy teaching, and across a school.

Specifically the duo discuss:  

• How a school intentionally and effectively  resources a year long approach to the teaching of writing using literature
• How and why teachers use quality literature actively in their Reading and Writing workshops, and how they do it effectively
• How a school plans out effective units of writing and reading, so students are able to read like writers and write like readers
• Top tips for teaching and coaching others successfully in this way

And much more!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US...

"Working with Sharon and Cue has given my staff a new impetus and focus on improving our student's literacy and learning. The "it's not a program" approach has given teachers the skills, structures and confidence to teach reading and writing in a highly explicit way but still allow it be joyful, interesting and motivating. Cue have been fantastic in their flexibility to deliver their support through video, face-to-face sessions, classroom modelling and ongoing 1 to 1 Zoom sessions. Distance has not been an issue."
Andrew, Principal,  Western Australia
