In Guiding Literacy Learners, Susan Hill discusses different approaches to guiding literacy development and offers procedures for selecting texts and preparing the student for the text. She emphasises the importance of talking through the book before the student starts to read it. Topics such as modelling, coaching, scaffolding and talking are outlined, and there are many practical and varied suggestions for activities. The final section of the book presents useful suggestions for assessment and record keeping, with an extensive appendix of writing frames and templates for activities.
