A Guidebook for Teaching English: Foundation to Year 10, 1st edition

A ground-up Australian edition for proven literacy instruction

A Guidebook for Teaching English: Foundation to Year 10 equips primary and secondary teachers—both pre-service and practising—with proven techniques for teaching reading and writing to students across ages, levels and backgrounds. This Australia-specific text replaces Tompkins’ Literacy for the 21st Century.

Sections are organised by “What, How, and Who we teach in primary English classrooms,” with sub-sections aligned with ACv9e: English, current Australian teaching standards and the Early Years Framework. Several knowledge frameworks are integrated, including the 8 Ways Framework, Uncle Ernie’s Framework and Derewianka’s Teaching and Learning Cycle (2020).
