My university dissertation. Topic: The National Literacy Strategy. A Literacy Task Force in January 1997 (chaired by Michael Barber and set up by the Labour Party shadow education minister David Blunkett) published its interim report - A reading revolution: How we can teach every child to read well. In the report, one of the recommendations was that the National Literacy Project (NLP) should be evaluated. The conservative government had previously established the NLP as a pilot scheme in thirteen Local Education Authorities. The aim of the evaluation was to determine whether the NLP should form the basis for a wider national literacy programme for all schools should Labour win the election. The major features of the NLP were: the introduction of a carefully structured literacy hour; a three strand programme of work at text, sentence and word level; a framework of teaching objectives indicating what should be taught during each term.

A great way of celebrating a child’s birthday in your class! Celebrate a child’s birthday by allowing the class to “interview” the birthday child (hot seating). Then complete the birthday booklets (there are differentiated booklets for boys and girls). There is also a separate booklet for the ‘birthday child’ to complete. Once the booklets have been completed, just staple them together and send them home for the birthday child to keep. You can even make a front cover for all the birthday booklets (I’ve attached 14 to choose from - all editable). The children love this (and parents too). Fully editable.
