“Literacy Tree has without question brought about a dramatic improvement in the quality of children's writing - particularly the boys - and I was so proud at our cross-school moderation meeting when our children's writing had all sorts of literary features which they were using very naturally”
Dan Paton, Deputy Headteacher, Arnot St Mary, Liverpool
“Children at Dulwich Wood have developed a real love of reading and awareness of authors since we started using Literacy Tree's resources. Because each sequence begins with a hook that enthuses and engages the children, it offers creative and real-life opportunities linking to our whole school Learning Journeys. Teachers find the resources really accessible and can easily adapt them to other books and areas of the curriculum.”
Helen Rowe, Headteacher, Dulwich Wood Primary
“The themes and lessons are both engaging and exciting and the plans are full of ideas we would never have thought of but which make learning practical and clear. The children read good quality texts and explore challenging concepts which has led to valuable discussions and some brilliant writing for a range of purposes.”
Anne McGrath, Deputy Head, St John's C of E, Caterham
“The planning sequences are excellent and therefore the teachers felt incredibly well-supported expanding the sequences to meet the needs of their classes. Virtually overnight, the production of writing from the children was transformed. The children wanted to write!”
Paul Robinson, Consultant Headteacher, Van Gogh Primary School, Lambeth
“Exposing our children to high quality, age-appropriate literature from a range of authors has allowed them to really write for purpose, be mindful of their audience and showcase the learning they have experienced in their own writing. Our children particularly enjoy the stimulating entry point experiences that allow us to introduce the text to the pupils in an exciting and gripping way.”
Rachel Pender, Assistant Principal, Whiston Willis Primary Academy, Knowsley
