Department for Education and Employment, London (England).
This Getting Started guide contains material presented at a two-day Additional Literacy Support (ALS) training course in the summer of 1999. ALS is designed to help pupils in Key Stage 2 who have already fallen behind in literacy, but who would not otherwise receive any additional support in this area. Each module includes a practical, high quality teaching program for such pupils, to be delivered during group work session of the Literacy Hour by teachers and classroom assistants, working in partnership. There are four modules on phonics, reading (guided and supported) and writing (shared and supported), as well as guidance for teachers on managing ALS. Contains overhead transparencies and handouts. Appendixes contain Guided and Supported Reading video commentaries, and Speech and Writing video commentary. (RS)
