what you need to know about effectively embedding novel studies for
student success

launching soon (11)_edited.jpg

As a teacher or leader, does this sound ​familiar?

  • you're using novels in Years 5-9 to teach reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. 

  • you're confused and frustrated because it all seems 'too much' and you 'can't fit it all in'. 

  • you're picking up a prepared resource that you haven't planned or created, and you're running with it WITHOUT knowing the research or rationale behind it. 

  • you're relying heavily on the use of prepared resources, showing you the WHAT to teach in a novel study but not WHY it's important for student literacy success. 

  • you're trying to 'get through the book' without realising it's a tool to teach literacy, language and literature skills.

In your classrooms, do you want to be:

curious and committed?

  • You want to understand the research and rationale behind common elements within novel study units. 

ambitious and adaptable? 

  • You want to confidently, effectively and explicitly teach literacy skills using ANY novel for literature analysis.  

empowered and effective?

  • You want to know the skills, knowledge, content and dispositions required to effectively embed novel studies...without relying heavily on a prepared resource.
