The researchED Guide to Literacy: An evidence-informed guide for Teachers

What do we mean by literacy, why it matters and what happens if we don’t get it right?

In this edition, James Murphy, along with an international cast, delves into the many myths and fads that have bedevilled teaching practice, helping teachers understand both the ‘what’ and  the ‘how’ of developing strong literacy skills for all students. The essays cover reading, spelling, writing, and intervening with literacy problems at both primary and secondary school.
