Presentation Title:
Why Primary Pupils Need Challenging Literature!
Details:
I will present a rationale for challenging literature, past and present being at the centre of an English curriculum which gives opportunities for deeper learning ,richer reading and talk and more curiosity. I'll explore how using quality texts link with quality writing too.

I will be speaking about the key points from the work of our networks to open doors to a more challenging curriculum for all their pupils! We have devised both principles and strategies for delivering a high pitch and inclusive English programme and we work with Trusts, networks and individual schools to support a quality text revolution! The principles are there for you to adapt to your individual needs. I will be exploring case studies and pupils' work to model key ways of using literature as part of a fascinating reading culture.

You may be the person who opens doors to opportunities and confidence for your pupils.

Who opened the doors for you?
Has your school begun to build an ambitious entitlement curriculum for all?
Are you interested in being an 'opening doors' school?

This attachment is a summary of the opening doors strategies, the toolkit our schools use in very flexible ways. It is applied to help access the potential of the challenging texts used and to ensure all learners can have a chance to excel. Principles of high pitch approaches and regular cognitive challenge for all set the frequency; the toolkit is the practical classroom support which signposts ways in which those principles can be applied.
