Rob Smith Email and Phone Number

Rob Smith has been teaching in Primary schools for almost 10 years and he is currently a KS2 and Literacy Leader at a large primary school in North Manchester. Rob's teaching and the search for innovative methods led him to use videos to inspire writing. The first animation he used with children was 'The Piano,' after this both he and the children were hooked. He began blogging his ideas and experiences with image and short film.The blog soon developed into The Literacy Shed, somewhere to escape to and share ideas. Since going live in June 2011 the Literacy Shed has had 2.5 million visitors from over 150 different countries. Rob is now visiting schools to deliver writing workshops to children and sharing his ideas with staff about engaging children with visual media to improve their literacy skills.
