Outstanding Literacy is the follow-up to the best-selling SPaG Book. In SPaG Book, Matilda Rose took us on a whistlestop tour of the English language and transported us back in time to explore the history of grammar teaching in England's schools. She then brought us bang up to date with a detailed analysis of the way in which spelling, punctuation, and grammar are taught and assessed in schools today. In this book, Rose gets to grips with the thorny issue of Literacy Across the Curriculum. She offers a convincing argument that literacy is a matter for every teacher not just teachers of English, and shares a range of strategies for teaching the three strands of literacy: speaking and listening; reading; and writing.Once again, Rose combines a perfect blend of theory and practice, offering something for everyone.
