Listen "16. The Forgotten 'R'"
Episode Synopsis
                            The 3 R's - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic - are probably more commonly referred to these days as literacy & numeracy. We know, as teachers, that these facets of learning are essential and need to be integrated across all curriculum areas, but that is easier said than done!The release of the National NAPLAN results last week sparked a great deal of conversation in the media around the state of literacy in Australia. While we aren't here today to unpack all of the issues and hype around these results, we do want to share some practical strategies that can be implemented across all subjects to help strengthen student writing. Whether you’re an English teacher or not, this episode will help you to discover how we can all play a part in bringing back the forgotten 'R!'Recording this as PD?
