- Abstract
The article discusses new teachers and literacy education. It is suggested that teachers should reflect on what they perceive good literacy teaching to be and presents suggestions for how reading teachers can improve their practices. The benefits of using creativity when planning effective teaching methods that meet educational mandates are explored. Consideration is given to the possibility that teachers could work with parents to find ways to improve children's literacy skills. The benefits of using assessment data to inform educational planning are also explored.
