Skills for literacy 4

This book: • comes with lesson plans for teachers and powerpoint slide shows. • contains worksheets for students. • comes with interactive board software. This is the part of a new series of from Lawler Education to support teachers of literacy. This important area of teaching and learning is one that often causes teachers, particularly less experienced teachers stress in organising positive learning experiences for students. That is why this set of books are an important contribution to supporting teachers. Made up of a set of lesson plans and worksheets that can be used with students, this book will develop understanding through word level and sentence level work. This book covers: • using the correct tense (present/past) consistently throughout writing. • use the progressive form of verbs in the present and past tense to mark actions in progress eg she was shouting. • use of capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks in punctuation. • the use of commas to separate items in a list. • the correct use of apostrophes. It will obviously be of interest to colleagues in primary schools but it will also be of interest to colleagues of adults with basic skills needs working at entry level and level 1. The material is presented in a mature manner that will not threaten their self esteem.
