Rob Smith

Rob set up The Literacy Shed from his home way back in 2012 whilst teaching full time in a primary school in the North West of England. From blogging about the films, he was using with his class, to a site filled with 500+ short films and animations, the website has gone from strength to strength with the addition of Education Shed which hosts a range of products: SpellingShed, MathShed and PhonicsShed.

Rob now travels the world evangelising about the use of film and image in the classroom and how they can benefit reading and writing practice. In his talks, Rob demonstrates how film and image can help ignite a passion for writing whilst modelling and scaffolding the process. He shows his audience that film can aid comprehension skills such as inference, deduction, prediction and more. Rob’s techniques are now being used in 10,000+ schools around the world and are having a positive impact upon the millions of children whose teachers use them.
