Teach Primary Magazine Reading & Writing 4 Edição especial

Human beings have always taught and learnt through
stories; from the first fables that tried to explain natural
phenomena and rules of behaviour, to the narratives
through which today’s leading thinkers choose to share
their ideas and conclusions with as wide an audience as possible.
Religion, science, politics, history, relationships - all the things that
matter most deeply to us are presented in the form of stories;
especially, of course, by the media.

In this era of so-called ‘fake news’, then - where convincing yet
contradictory tales pour out around us at an unprecedented rate
- teaching the next generation to read and write with confidence,
discernment and enthusiasm has arguably never been more
important. And the foundations we lay down in the early years and
at primary school are crucial.
