Themed around magic, mystery and much more, both the narrative and non-fiction units within this publication, interweave reading and writing skills from Year 5 and Year 6. Children will be taken on a magical journey whilst reading Ross MacKenzie’s award-winning The Nowhere Emporium. Regular short and long writing opportunities are embedded throughout the sequence - with opportunities for further challenge and independent writing also signposted – whilst the final written outcome is an extended narrative based around the plot of The Nowhere Emporium. This is followed by a non-fiction unit, flexibly themed around magic or the circus – it’s your choice! Following research, children will work towards producing a hybrid information text in the form of a magazine page. This includes a mini biography, a discussion text and a non-chronological report. The children could be finding out about the history of magic, researching a famous magician or discussing whether animals should be allowed to perform in a circus. Lots of interesting facts to find and discussions to have!

These were identified after careful analysis of the coverage within Letters and Sounds, the Phonics Screening Check Framework and the Lancashire Programmes: Fast Track Phonics and Bounce Back Phonics. This programme is aimed at children in Years 2, 3 and 4 who may have missed, or not fully understood, some of the crucial stages of systematic synthetic phonics teaching in Reception and Year 1, and is designed to address gaps in learning.

Bounce Back Phonics

(0)
This document offers a series of phonics lessons aimed at helping children in Years 2, 3 and 4 who may have missed, or not fully understood, some of the crucial stages of systematic synthetic phonics teaching in the early years. The units of work will be useful if some of your children are experiencing difficulties with: • blending phonemes for reading and segmenting for spelling; • selecting the correct spelling for long vowel phonemes; • reading and spelling longer words containing adjacent consonants. The lessons cover the alternative spellings of common vowel phonemes (Phase 5) and can be used flexibly to meet the needs of your children, based on your assessment of their current phonic knowledge. The simple assessment tool provided will help you to identify the phonemes you need to teach or to revisit, thereby filling crucial gaps in phonic knowledge. Included also are six lessons which cover some tricky phonemes e.g. wr, ph, kn, gn, tch and softening c. These can be used at your discretion. In addition, there are two blocks of work which address the teaching of Phases 4 and 5 tricky words. These sessions will help you to teach your children to read and spell these words automatically. The lessons should be conducted three times a week by teachers or by trained teaching assistants and should be lively, exciting and full of fun.
