Tool Box
At The Literacy Engine, we know how difficult it is for teachers across non-text based subjects to deliver Literacy via their lessons. Our evidence informed strategies empower staff to become confident teachers of Literacy, regardless of their specialism. When every adult reads to children it sends a powerful message that Literacy is for life.
Development Cogs
Development Cogs harnesses the power of extended reading and the study of non-fiction texts to provide a powerful and evidence-based method for teaching PSHE, SMSC, British Values, and Citizenship topics. This approach simultaneously supports the holistic development of students as individuals and enhances their reading skills through the acquisition of real-world knowledge.
The Oracy Engine
The Oracy Engine is a transformative framework designed to empower schools with a comprehensive approach to enhancing student communication skills. Rooted in the belief that effective oracy is fundamental to academic success and personal growth, this strategy provides a structured framework that cultivates articulate expression, active listening, and confident communication.
The Debate Drive
The Debate Drive is a structured programme that builds confident talk and discussion on a bedrock of foundational knowledge. By using the Debate Drive model and resources, students will participate in structured discussion around key issues from a position of knowledge. No longer will the content of a talk be a barrier to participation in the discussion.
