Teacher's Resource Books

The Teacher's Resource Books contain a wealth of supportive teaching notes including:

  • explicit teaching for Guided Writing
  • introductions to various text types
  • checks for oral, written and visual language and phonological patterns
  • running records to assess the progress of individual students
  • a variety of ideas for assisting students in processing written and visual information
  • assessment ideas and Blackline Masters
  • additional samples of the Teaching Notes at the back of each book.

Blackline Masters
Two Blackline Masters for each title have been developed by practising teachers to develop students' comprehension skills as well as assess their knowledge of writing conventions and genre structures.

The blackline masters in the Sails Literacy Blackline Masters Books provide time-saving activities that will help to develop the literacy skills of lower primary students. The activities have been designed for use in small guided reading and writing groups and for independent learning centre activities.

Teaching Notes
At the back of each book, the additional notes focus on:

  • thinking critically
  • exploring language
  • vocabulary
  • print convention
  • phonological patterns
  • processing information.
