Literacy: Using Story Starts

Part of the series Primary Lesson Starters
Part of the series Primary ICT Whiteboard

This programme focuses on three teachers, working across Key Stages 1 and 2, using specially designed whiteboard resources to teach literacy.

Offering a visual stimulus helps to develop with a class a common experience which the teacher can build upon using a variety of techniques like role play, group work and writing.

The children are engaged and excited as the teachers bring to life the demands of the curriculum.

  Hi Kent,
  I am currently teaching a kindergarten class in Sydney, Australia. We have an interactive whiteboard and I am particularly interested in viewing the Story starters. I have not been able to access any of these due to the fact that I am logging in from Australia! If it is possible to attach some (or all!) of these files to an email I would really appreciate your effort.
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you,
  
  Jen Dowling

  I haven't used them before, but would like to and would gladly share what we did with them.

  Use of video gives greater pace to a lesson because children aren't slowed down by trying to access a narrative by having to read and decode before beginning writing.

  There is so much good stuff around that teachers don't know about yet-I'm going to share this one!
  I also think we learn better form each other than from "experts". After all, we're the ones at the pointy end!
