Unlocking the Reader in Every Child
Author: Susan Elkin |

An essential book for teachers, special needs co-ordinators and all those who support children in schools, and the perfect book for parents who want to help
develop their child’s reading skills at home.
This book helps parents and teachers unlock the reader in every child. It provides a basic, quick-to-read guide to teaching reading, drawing on best practice over the years and avoiding ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ fashions.
But this book is not just a guide. It’s a toolkit, too. Each section contains practical activities, games and ‘try this’ ideas to help develop reading skills and overcome obstacles. It tackles age-old topics in new ways.
Every page offers some fresh perspectives to try – either at home or in the classroom – all with a very practical focus. There are games and activities to
• build phonological awareness
• turn decoders into real readers
• help strugglers
• overcome reluctance to read
• harness visual literacy and children’s passions
• meet individual needs (including children with specific learning difficulties)
• achieve literacy outcomes without even teaching ‘literacy’.
With plenty of reading suggestions too, it’s the book you can’t afford to be without.

David Orme has nearly 25 years experience of teaching poetry – both in the
classroom and in workshops around the country. Now he distills that amazing
wealth of experience into over 200 pages of tried and tested ideas and
resources.
Equally applicable to primary and secondary (and even to adult learning), the
book includes:
• strategies for teaching poetry
• 60 poetry activities to implement in the classroom
• an anthology of poems (arranged by type and by topic, all written by
the author) which can be used to support poetry in the classroom
• a CD-ROM containing the activities and the anthology, so that teachers
can re-use them in the classroom with minimal effort and preparation
time.
