As in previous weeks, an example letter is included which teachers can send to parents in order to provide additional guidance, or to tailor the units to particular classes. Many schools have been enhancing the units in the following ways: -Providing word banks to support each day or week -Teachers reading aloud some of the stories, poems and texts and sending via an online platform/school website so the children can ‘see and hear’ them -Designing additional activities linked to the suggested texts to make links across the curriculum We hope the units continue to be useful and please share any feedback on our Facebook page….

’Read and Respond’ unit to support home learning in English and Literacy, Year 3 - Week 8: Characters. This resource includes an electronic set of plans for parents for English and Literacy in Year 3. These newly created exciting ‘Read and Respond’ units will support home learning in English and Literacy. The ‘mini units’, available for Years 1-6 inclusive, provide daily English lesson plans and have been designed for you to send home to parents on a weekly basis. (Reception guidance for Literacy is also available, though in a slightly different format). All the plans use text extracts freely downloadable from LoveReading4Kids, Oxford Owl or websites with free audio recordings. Week 8 topic for Year 3: Characters. It is suggested that each unit is sent to parents with an accompanying letter as a way of the class teacher personally introducing the unit of work. This will provide the teacher with the opportunity to address any particular sections of the plan, provide supporting materials (e.g. a writing frame) where appropriate and/or make reference to any prior learning. An editable example of how this might look is also included. A message from our Senior English Consultant Nicola Martin: HOT OFF THE PRESS!
