The Teacher's Tool Kit For Literacy

Tips and Tools For Supporting Early Learners

Episode Summary

Literacy expert Diane Snowball talks about the key literacy steps for teachers to take with early learners.

Episode Notes

When students are at the start of their learning journey, it can be challenging for teachers to know how to put the right literacy steps in place.

To talk about this important topic we're joined by Diane Snowball, a highly experienced educator who led significant change in education throughout whole school districts in the US as well as Australia.

The session with Diane is from a recent Zoom Q and A session with a group of F-2 teachers at a school in Victoria, Australia. The teachers ask Diane a series of questions related to spelling and word work, but the conversation expanded into other areas of literacy, so Diane could give the context for the teaching work.

Just some of the talking points include:

• Teaching letters and sounds
• Using shared reading effectively
• Learning through inquiry
• The use of encouragement
• Literacy routines
• Modelled writing
• Use of the Literacy Block
• Literacy across the day
• The vital use of non fiction texts

And much more!
