A powerful literature-based approach that helps all students—and particularly those who struggle with reading and writing—develop confidence, comprehension and language proficiency.
"Place rich literature at the heart of literacy instruction and give every student access to meaningful reading, writing and learning."
Teaching with Intent 2: Literature-based Literacy Teaching and Learning presents a highly effective approach to teaching language and literacy through quality literature. Developed through years of classroom practice with marginalised and struggling learners, this award-winning book demonstrates how carefully scaffolded teaching can help students become confident readers, writers and meaning-makers.
At a time when many students struggle to decode texts, comprehend complex ideas and communicate effectively through writing, Parkin and Harper offer a practical framework that places storytelling and literature at the centre of learning. Through a sequence of explicit, purposeful teaching strategies, teachers learn how to build students' knowledge about language, reading and writing while maintaining engagement with authentic, high-quality texts.
Inside this book you'll explore:
- A literature-based approach to teaching language and literacy
- Practical teaching sequences designed to support all learners
- Scaffolded strategies that build reading comprehension and writing success
- Explicit teaching approaches grounded in the gradual release of responsibility model
- The role of systemic functional linguistics in literacy learning
- Classroom examples, student work samples and teacher-student dialogue
- Detailed analysis of mentor texts including Big Rain Coming and Paul Jennings' Nails
Grounded in scaffolding, sociocultural learning theory, explicit instruction and systemic functional linguistics, the book provides both the theoretical foundations and practical classroom guidance teachers need to support students who might otherwise struggle to access literacy learning. The result is an approach that is inclusive, engaging and highly effective.
