Primary teachers looking for effective ways to implement the Literacy Hour will welcome this focused publication which demonstrates how the prescribed range of work and teaching objectives can be met through the use of well chosen fiction and poetic texts. The authors outline appropriate activities at whole text, sentence and word level, provide a clear explanation of the grammatical terms used in the National Literacy Project, and offer a range of practical ideas to help teachers organise and plan their Literacy Hour with confidence. The practical advice is underpinned by up-to-date theory and research and can easily be built into a teacher's current practice. It is also an excellent preparation for student teachers, classroom assistants, INSET providers and LEA advisers who support schools in literacy development.
