These resources are intended to support the planning of effective literacy units based on high quality books. They are not intended to be lesson plans, but offer a menu of possible ideas for teachers to use as starting points to plan for purposeful learning and give pupils reasons for writing, as well as the skills they need to write with impact on their reader.
They follow a learning sequence:
· a hook to fully engage and interest the children;
· responding to reading activities to allow
immersion in and exploration of the text,
including picture exploration, book and writer
talk;
· capturing ideas activities which include drama
and talk to support understanding of the text
and to develop vocabulary, language and ideas
for writing;
· possibilities for the contextualised teaching of
grammar;
· sentence games to develop creativity, vocabulary,
language and grammar;
· links to guided reading;
· a range of writing tasks which may be final unit
outcomes or incidental opportunities during the
unit.
Specific mention is made of the writing sequence:
· modelled writing
· shared writing
· guided writing
In addition, cross-curricular links are suggested, including links to challenges from the Learning Challenge Curriculum.
