Spotlight on ... children's authors for Key Stage 2
This INSET considers how the study of established children’s authors can be developed into an effective teaching unit that includes reading, writing, speaking and listening.
The session:
- focuses on a selection of books by a select number of appropriate authors, e.g. Janet and Allan Ahlberg, Malorie Blackman, Anthony Browne, Dick King Smith, Philip Ridley
- explores their backgrounds and lives
- establishes effective ways of comparing and contrasting texts by an author
- develops banks of reading and writing activities around particular texts
- This course can be tailored to Y2, Y3/4 or Y5/6, focusing on authors particularly suitable for these year groups.
