Reading at Key Stage 2

Carole King

Until my retirement in 2004, I was Senior lecturer at the University of Brighton where I coordinated the work of the large and productive English team. Working collaboratively with colleagues drawn from a range of backgrounds, I gained extensive experience of planning and teaching successful curriculum and special studies modules across foundation and Key Stages 1-3. I also mentored tutors new to ITE. A research project with Muriel Robinson in 1990 developed my interest in Literature Circles and led to the production of two videos. Since then, I have continued to work extensively to establish the use of Literature Circles in schools and ITE and am currently working with Y2 children in a local infant school. I am also a visiting lecturer at Brighton University, working mainly as an advisor for primary ITE students on block school experience.
