Overview

Improving Literacy with ICT is intended as a source book of ideas that you can adapt to suit your needs - this is not a collection of lesson plans. The approaches described in the book are applicable to a wide range of cross-curricular situations and a table is included to indicate some of these.Many of the activities lend themselves to pupils working in pairs and small groups, as ICT can encourage discussion and group decision-making. Most activities are followed by ‘Development' and ‘Differentiation' sections, offering ideas to help you to do just that - build on what you have already done or adapt the activity to suit differing abilities. All the activities use commonly-available software and are available online so that you can make them your own and display them on your interactive whiteboard.
