About this event

  • Event lasts 6 hours

You will reflect on literacy-related reasons for underperformance in science, and how best-practice literacy teaching can overcome these problems. You will take away practical approaches that are known to work well in science, and be able to develop your own - introducing and using keywords, sentences and paragraphs; purposeful talk in science; techniques for reluctant or literacy-poor science learners; reading and understanding science texts and exam questions; forms of scientific writing; and developing structured extended writing and answers.
