Written by teachers for teachers to perfectly support the renewed framework, Collins Primary Literacy is a whole school language program that builds key reading, writing, speaking and listening skills through structured creative work.

With fiction, non-fiction and poetry by best children's authors for your class to read and explore, Collins Primary Literacy provides engaging activities matched to the Renewed Framework that will save you time and give you lots of ideas.

Active learning is at the heart of Collins Primary Literacy, with an emphasis on speaking, listening and drama work. Children are encouraged to work reflectively, with built-in opportunities for paired work and critical thinking. Opportunities for assessment are threaded throughout the teaching sequence, with further support given in the form of progress sheets for assessing writing.

Reading for pleasure urgently requires a higher profile to raise attainment and increase children’s engagement as self-motivated and socially interactive readers. Building Communities of Engaged Readers highlights the concept of ‘Reading Teachers’ who are not only knowledgeable about texts for children, but are aware of their own reading identities and prepared to share their enthusiasm and understanding of what being a reader means. Sharing the processes of reading with young readers is an innovative approach to developing new generations of readers. Examining the interplay between the ‘will and the skill’ to read, the book distinctively details a reading for pleasure pedagogy and demonstrates that reader engagement is strongly influenced by relationships between children, teachers, families and communities. Importantly it provides compelling evidence that reciprocal reading communities in school encompass: a shared concept of what it means to be a reader in the 21st century; considerable teacher and child knowledge of children’s literature and other texts; pedagogic practices which acknowledge and develop diverse reader identities; spontaneous ‘inside-text talk’ on the part of all members; a shift in the focus of control and new social spaces that encourage choice and children’s rights as readers. Written by experts in the literacy field and illustrated throughout with examples from the project schools, it is essential reading for all those concerned with improving young people’s enjoyment of and attainment in reading.
