  11. Changes to National Curriculum Revised Programmesof Study for all subjects KS1-3 Consultation period Feb – April 2013 Publication of final orders Autumn 2013 Statutory from September 2014

  12. Key Issues English or Literacy? Literacy across the Curriculum? Oracy: significantly smaller role Reading: Word Reading; Comprehension Writing: Transcription (incl spelling, handwriting); Composition (incl. grammar, punct.)

  13. Schools Response Reviewing our practice in the light of the new orders: What are we committed to keeping? How do the new orders support this? What do we need to change?

  14. Support for Reading • All pupils must be encouraged to read widely across both fiction and non-fiction to develop their knowledge of themselves and the world in which they live, to establish an appreciation and a love of reading, and to gain knowledge across the curriculum. Reading widely and often increases pupils’ vocabulary because they encounter words they would rarely hear or use in everyday speech. Reading also feeds pupils’ imagination and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds.

  15. Support for Reading/Writing • Reading and listening to whole books, not simply extracts, helps pupils to increase their vocabulary and grammatical knowledge … These activities also help them to understand how different types of writing … are structured. All these can be drawn on for their writing. • Pupils should understand, through demonstration, the skills and processes essential to writing.

  16. The Reading Jigsaw

  17. What needs beefing up? • Wider range of reading strategies • Impact of purpose and audience on form and language in writing • Wider definition of text for reading and writing • Literacy across the curriculum • Teaching of Effective Research Skills
