1. Overcoming staff scepticism
Make sure the staff know that it is the concern of all teachers,
not just literacy staff
2. The value of investing in training
Staff need training in recognition and remediation, and they
need time to do it.
3. Evaluating results
Pupils should be constantly monitered to verify improvements
4. Involve the parents
Parents can be a major asset. Make sure they know how they
can help.
5. Marking and assessment
Make sure all teachers adopt a similar approach
6. Marking spelling errors
Do not over correct. Chose a few key words or inconsistencies
7. Marking free writing
If the task is to write freely, mark the content for creativity
8. Homework
Remember what they knew yesterday they may not know today
9. Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Always treat every child as different
