Cross-curricular Literacy Challenges
is a series of six books specifically targeted at developing cross, curricular work from levels 6 across the 5 age range. Each book contains challenges
with differentiated ability choices.
Each challenge encourages the development of time management skills, thinking skills and independent research, which culminates in a specific end product
such as a written report, a prepared presentation, a radio programme, or a short film or that helps show the literacy and cross-curricular learning that
has taken place.
The books have links with the National Curriculum levels and Literacy Framework years 6 as a guide to teachers as to
where they fit in the curriculum range.
The challenges work well with children across the 5-14 age range as they can be used with the children who are working at the particular levels regardless
of the year that they are currently in.
