The Literacy Toolkit is a must-read for teachers, literacy co-ordinators and school leaders. It provides a one-stop resource for getting your school buzzing with literacy practice that will raise results and deepen learning. Based on up-to-date research about how learning really happens, all suggested practices are linked to the Learning to Learn and Assessment for Learning agendas. This book delivers a clear and integrated vision of what twenty-first education should look like.
