Introduction Let’s Talk Literacy is a series of books designed to support the development of pupils’ literacy skills from First to Sixth Class. The programme considers all aspects of the Primary Language Curriculum (2015). Each unit addresses:
• • •
Comprehension Vocabulary Grammar
• •
Oral language Writing genres and the writing process.
Each book features a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts as well as engaging extracts from novels and poems. The series introduces interesting characters to guide pupils through each book. A continuous story is developed through cloze and comprehension activities. Comprehension strategies are explained before reading tasks. The pupil is encouraged to use these strategies. The vocabulary explored in each unit is sourced from the comprehension piece, allowing the pupil to see the words in context. A selection of lower and higher order questions also follow each comprehension piece. Oral language is addressed independently in each unit. Oral language tasks are integrated with the content of the unit and are also representative of the learning outcomes of the new Primary Language Curriculum. A progressive approach to grammar is taken throughout the series, with a range of activities provided to suit varying abilities. Extension activities are also provided throughout the textbook to further challenge pupils. The series has focused on all writing genres and a variety of opportunities has been provided for pupils to engage with each genre. Pupils will develop an awareness of the structure and specific language associated with each genre.
Digital resources are available at www.edcolearning.ie to provide opportunities to reinforce the learning objectives introduced in the textbook. Teacher planning documents are also provided. These documents are reflective of the textbook content and take the new Primary Language Curriculum planning requirements into consideration. They are also fully editable and are easily integrated into personal planning documents.
