Literacy Works for Geography has been positively received. Students in Year 7 and 8 are appreciating the importance of developing their literacy. Students love the resource. It is at their level and they understand it.

My faculty have found Geography Books 1/2 invaluable. In the current teaching environment what better way to support your colleagues teaching out of their area are these content-based literacy learning activities that can be made into a class set or form the basis of an effective lesson? Thank you from the Humanities Faculty MHS!!!

We use the Literacy Works for Geography books extensively with our mixed ability classes. They are especially helpful to scaffold activities for the students. They enhance class discussions, specifically in our literacy lessons.

We just received your Year 7 History book and it is brilliant! Our Year 7 model has the same teacher for both English and the Humanities and your resource will make it so much easier to tie in the subjects.

With a user-friendly format, this resource can be built upon in later years and provides a strong foundational knowledge for literacy teaching in History classrooms.

About Literacy Works
Secondary school teachers are subject experts with limited time and a lot of content to get through. Many teachers are concerned about declining writing standards in their classrooms. That’s why teachers need support to teach content and writing at the same time.
Literacy Works was founded by Dr Trish Weekes, an expert in secondary school disciplinary literacy and writing. Her research and experience working with hundreds of teachers in secondary schools over the past two decades has taught her exactly what teachers need: literacy resources to teach literacy and also get through subject content. Trish’s PhD and academic research taught her about evidence-based pedagogy for scaffolding and explicit teaching of literacy and writing. The result? Literacy Works resources that make literacy easy.
Literacy Works provides easy to use worksheets and ready-made lessons for teaching writing in subject areas that save time for busy teachers. So click on your subject below, access your worksheets and lessons and start improving student writing today.
