The Story Spinner Learning DVD
Story Spinner Learning is full of ideas, inspiration and the plans you need to quickly and easily start using the Story Spinner throughout your entire school. The pack includes a DVD, CD-Rom and booklet.
Many of your colleagues around the country have told us they have difficulty sharing the
teaching potential of the stories with other staff members. Or they are still only using the stories in 'Golden Time' or 'Story Time' as they don't know what else to do with them.
In response, we have spent the last year supplying full-day, half-day and twilight Story Spinner training sessions to schools and LAs. And we've worked extensively with top literacy professionals and teachers to create a truly effective way of putting this training into your hands - Story Spinner Learning.
We designed it with you in mind. To help you and all of the teachers in your school save time and easily put stories at the heart of a truly creative curriculum. The Story Spinner DVDs are a proven solution to motivate your children, having a massive and immediate impact on their reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Story Spinner Learning will show you how.
Included on the DVD -
- An inspirational introduction by Phil McDermott, the storyteller.
- Eve Bearne (Cambridge University) talks about her research findings and the powerful impact the stories have on key aspects of literacy.
- Pam Dowson gives an extensive guide to planning. The planning model is based on the Teaching Sequence recommended by the National Strategies.
- Watch Rebecca Harris and her Year 2 children work through a narrative unit, 'Sleeping Beauty', using the plan included on the CD-Rom. (KS1)
- Jacqui Hatchard's year 4 children bring 'Talk for Writing' to life. They achieve exceptional results in their writing in just weeks. (KS2)
- There are two complete stories 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Granddad and the Laundry Basket'.
The booklet contains suggestions to guide staff training sessions, including 'How to use the Story Spinner to expand existing plans' or to develop speaking and listening.
And the CD-Rom contains extensive planning for an entire unit of work for one story from each DVD, as well as quick links to many other areas of the curriculum, to save you time and help you easily get started.
Story Spinner Learning is a perfect way to trial the award winning series if you don't have the DVDs yet.
