Teaching Literacy Through Film

Harness the power of film to make a lasting impact on your pupils’ literacy skills with Teaching Literacy Through Film. 

Developed after six years of research between Into Film and its partners, Teaching Literacy Through Film is designed as a series of seven, short self-contained learning experiences. They introduce simple strategies to inspire your learners to improve their speaking and listening, comprehension and writing attainment.
