| Footage description: | Over shots of a primary school class. Elaine Brown introduces the programme. She explains that it will look at one teacher's attempts to extend reading into all class activities. The teacher and a small group of children use their experience of making day pots to write instructions on this for another group. This exercise is extended to include writing about things the children have not seen themselves. The children then arrange the separate instructions into a complete sequence for display and read them out. Children are observed using word banks. The teacher questions individual children closely and gets them to read to her. The children are seen adding words from their own individual word banks to the class word bank. The teacher works with individual children to help them check each others work. The teacher is seen filling in each child's record sheet. This is done with the child, what the child has done in class. Children are also seen returning cards to the word banks. They are encouraged to check that the cards are in alphabetical order. Two girls are seen displaying cards that give the school's menu for the day. The children tell the teacher about their visit to a fire station. They also read accounts of the visit and play a tape recording of an interview with a fireman. |
