The National Literacy Strategy was introduced to primary schools in England in 1998/1999 when the subject, "English" was replaced by the "Literacy Hour." A file, Framework for Teaching, is a practical tool to help teachers to deliver the Literacy Hour. The Office of Standards in Education had noticed that teachers' weak subject knowledge restricted the effectiveness of receiving and practicing the objectives in the File. In order to find out how teachers with a good reputation were getting through, I carefully examined the data I collected in Lancashire where I visited in 2003. Mrs. Bernadette Wood was introduced by the Local Education Authority as the best teacher' for Literacy Hour in Lancashire. She was the head teacher and also a class teacher at a primary school. I found that she had adopted a significant amount of ideas from some documents in the Teaching Resources published by DfES. The point is that she had pierced a writer's view on the structure of the aimed ability that the contents were based upon. She also had set in some activities originally that stimulated pupils' emotions and had reconciled the interest with the result of a majority of the pupils achieving a higher level.
