What should teachers ask of themselves for teaching literacy

Post by debbie »

Whilst we are all 'teachers of literacy', I also suggest that all teachers should be knowledgeable about 'systematic synthetic phonics' and not just those who teach 'early reading' as described in Teachers' Standards:

http://www.teachertoolkit.me/2016/07/25/literacy/
Demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge … and an understanding of and take responsibility for promoting high standards of literacy, articulacy and the correct use of standard English, whatever the teacher’s specialist subject. If teaching early reading, demonstrate a clear understanding of systematic synthetic phonics.” (Teachers’ Standards)
