Literacy Across the Secondary Curriculum

Lisa Jane Ashes is an experienced English teacher and consultant, having worked with many schools in some of the UK's most challenging areas.

She is also the author of the innovative literacy book, Manglish that shows how literacy and numeracy can work to support each other in any secondary school setting.

She has now put together a unique and practical Cross-Curricular Literacy Package for us that will offer ongoing guidance, inspiration and support for all schools looking to improve literacy levels in all areas of school life.

Why?

Literacy across the curriculum is so much more than a 'Word of the Week' and marking for SPaG.

When you get it right, it will transform your teachers’ practice and improve outcomes for all.

This package has everything you need to get it right!

What?

Whether you want to revamp your school’s current practice or you are starting from scratch with nothing, this package will guide you to develop and embed whole school secondary literacy practice.
