The document discusses interactive teaching strategies in literacy. It identifies different learning styles such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Interactive techniques are important as they engage pupils and accommodate different learning styles. Some interactive techniques discussed include think-pair-share, role play, and using whiteboards. The goal is for teaching to be interactive to benefit all students.

Editor's Notes
- Before the participants arrive: Stick up the letters for NSEW Distribute handouts, whiteboards, pens, and ‘Show Me!’ cards Welcome participants. Introduce yourself.
- Talk through the aims for the session.
- Expand on the powerpoint notes: Visual Learners Learn best when they can use pictures, mind maps, diagrams, flow charts, visual artefacts, key words, display, TV, video camera, ICT, posters… Auditory Learners Learn best through sound, discussions (paired or groups), tapes, debates, rhymes, repetition, drama, music, explanation, ICT… Kinaesthetic Learner Learn best through movement or touch, ICT, experiments, trips, sequencing, placing events on a timeline, physical movement, role play, brain gym..
- Read the quote to the course participants, or give them time to read it. Ask them to consider children in groups in their classes. What types of learners make up the majority of each group. Draw out: Is the ‘bottom group’ mainly made up of kinaesthetic learners? Techniques for kinaesthetic learners: connect ideas to physical movement change positions when listening or learning different ideas tactile experiences - touch, feel, do things practically
- Draw out that teachers who use interactive strategies involve children in their learning, and provide for a range of learning styles.
- Objective - Emphasise that the objective should lead the choice of strategy rather than other way round! Modelling - It is very important that children see the strategy modelled - emphasise this! E.g. demonstrating paired talk with the teaching assistant, if you don’t have a teaching assistant prime an able child beforehand and use him/her. Supporting - again, having a teaching assistant can be very helpful but another more able child can work well too. Space - remember Y6 children do not always have to sit at their tables, and Reception children can be trained to move into a circle, or next to their ‘talking partner’.
- Very briefly explain each technique. You will return to each one in more detail later on. Show Me! Involves each pupil in giving a response simultaneously, the results of which the teacher can see at a glance. Thinking Time Gives children a moment to gather their thoughts before offering a response. This is ‘time-out’ from the teacher-driven discussion. Paired Talk Gives children the opportunity to share ideas and refine their thinking with a partner. Get Up and Go Commits pupils to action and usually physical movement. Drama Some drama techniques are suitable for use in the whole class part of the Literacy Hour.
- Give participants 5-10 mins to discuss and complete the chart (Handout p.2) Explain that they will be able to complete the ‘examples’ during the session. Take feedback and opportunities to share good practice.
- Whiteboards - children work on whiteboards, usually one between two, in response to a tightly focused prompt from the teacher. Write down a word that has two meanings but the same spelling Define trowel in four words, then in two words Write down an adverb for the way I’m walking (e.g. slowly) Write down a word you might find in the first line of a fairy story (now line up and consider how you might change the order) Fans - Show participant a fan you use in your class and explain how you use it Cards - Give out verb, adjective, noun cards (one card per participant) Ask participants to hold up their card if it matches the relevant part of speech for the word light in: Turn off the light (noun), Light the fire (verb), I had a light meal (adjective) Thumbs up - participants may remember this one from the plenary twilight. Children put up their thumbs when they hear/see something they have been asked to listen/look for, e.g. direct speech Health Warning!! Show Me! Activities are not random exercises in mental agility. They must serve the purpose of teaching or reinforcing the objective.
- Give examples of when you have used this strategy effectively.
- Tightly… - ensure that the children know what is expected of them. If necessary, model beforehand. Time Limit - give a fixed, short period of time. Oral rehearsal - to clarify their thinking before speaking to the whole class. This helps to raise children’s confidence. Maximum - all children are involved. No-one can opt-out, and no-one will feel frustrated. Recognition - everybody has had an audience.
- To demonstrate paired talk, ask the participants to complete the sentence with a partner. Give no more than 2 mins. Take feedback.
- These are the types of activities teachers are most reluctant to try. However, they are very beneficial for kinaesthetic learners. Children would typically have to get up to point things out, move a card, pin something on a line, or similar. Point out Progression in Phonics, Spelling Bank, Developing Early Writing and Grammar for Writing all contain examples of ‘Get Up and Go’ activities, e.g. human sentences Activities: NSEW- give out the pictures and make sure each participant knows what their picture is. Explain that the participants have to stand at the station that matches the middle (medial) sound in their word.
- Hot seating One child takes on the role of author/character from a story. The other children ask questions, and the child answers in role. The teacher will need to model this. Role Play In groups, children are asked to develop or improvise on a story. Freeze Frames A group/pair of children are asked to recreate a scene from a book. The rest of the children can ask them questions about their feelings etc.
- Watch the video showing an example of hot seating. Ask the participants to consider the different roles of the children in the class.
- Explain to participants they will read an extract from ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. After reading the extract you will choose 4 people to take on the roles of the characters.
- Ask for four volunteers to take on the roles of Petunia, Vernon, Harry and Dudley. Choose a fifth person to ‘position’ the characters if you wish. Once in position, tap each character in turn, asking them to explain how they are feeling. Allow participants to ask questions.
- Bring the session to a conclusion by reminding participants of how children learn, using the above list. This list is also presented as a poster in the pack.
- Thank participants. Ensure that everyone has signed the register - this is very important.
