Notes

Lighting the Literacy Fire is the spark that will ignite and fuel the flame of learning, ensuring your students become successful, life-long readers and writers. Author Jill Eggleton - renowned for her practical literacy learning solutions - recognises that today’s readers and writers have a greater need to be engaged regularly in practising oral language and comprehension skills. This book emphasises the teaching of these skills within the context of a complete literacy programme. The literacy teaching is plainly detailed so that teachers can transfer the knowledge directly into their classroom programmes. The guidlines set out in Lighting the Literacy Fire raise the literacy bar or teachers and students, focusing attention on what is vital in helping learners reach national standards and desired curriculum outcomes.
