Year 2 English Unit of Work including three reading comprehensions

This is the first three week’s of a year 2 English scheme of work, designed to work through the second half of the autumn term.

The scheme includes an 80-slide Powerpoint, which can be used in conjunction with the 31-page workbook. The workbook can either be printed out and used in its entirety, or selected sheets can be used as an ink-saver. An answer book is included.

Contents of the workbook are:

• Spellings: The ‘-dge’ word ending, the '-ge- word ending, words which used a ‘c’ for an ‘s’.
• Punctuation: Capital letters for proper nouns, question marks, exclamation marks.
• Grammar: The past and present tenses, nouns and adjectives, expanded noun phrases.
• Reading: Comprehensions on The Gunpowder Plot (Non-fiction recount of the story), Remembrance Day (A poem), Anti-Bulling Week (A story focused around bullying.)
• Writing: Writing a letter, describing a war memorial, writing a list of advice for someone who is being bullied.

All reading comprehension questions are based on the format of the Key Stage 1 SATS tests, both paper 1 and paper 2.
The work is divided into three weeks of learning, with an aspect of each element of English each week. The writing activities are linked with the subject of the reading comprehensions.

This is a continuation from week 1 of this scheme, which is available for free download from my TES shop (although week 1 is also included in this download.) Weeks 4-6 will be available shortly.
