Connecting Literacy targets whole-school literacy improvement for Secondary students and teachers.

What is Connecting Literacy?

A developmental literacy program for Secondary schools, including:

• 3 student folios
• 3 teacher books
• 100s of video lessons hosted by literacy consultant, Hayley Harrison.
• Who is Connecting Literacy for?

Secondary school students and teachers who:

• are embarking on whole-school literacy improvement, OR
• integrate literacy skills in the English classroom, OR
• attend a timetabled literacy block.
• How does Connecting Literacy work?

With cumulative skill development over three books where students:

• Model: read and annotate an ‘anchor text’ – an authentic piece of student writing
• Practise: complete units of work in class or as homework with video support from Hayley Harrison, literacy coach
• Apply: draft their own text directly into the writing pages included in each student folio.

Why do you need Connecting Literacy?

Flexibility: Use the series over three consecutive years or use the student folios in parallel to differentiate, support and extend.

Support: Video lessons, teacher books with answers and suggested programs, a literacy skills ‘toolkit’ and on-demand P.D. sessions will support experienced and out-of-discipline teachers alike.

Evidence: Student folios are designed as a learning pathway with built-in student reflection, metacognition and formative assessment (with developmental rubrics).

Whole-school: Use Connecting Literacy to underpin your whole school literacy plan and create a common metalanguage around literacy.
