It also has a homework scheme attached that builds up to presentations at the end.
Lessons 1-15: Non-fiction reading building up inference skills.

This is a fully resourced scheme of work adapting resources from variety of freely shared sources.

I am sharing these lessons and resources to help others with their planning.
Learning Matrix - I currently use these to record student progress over the term. Students put them in the front of their books and the criteria is highlighted yellow as they achieve it. If I'd like them to try and do a particular criteria it is highlighted pink, once achieved it is ticked off.
Set 1 completed the SoW as a project, they used the learning matrix as a guide and provided feedback to one another at the end of the term using the project feedback sheet.
This is a three week unit of work that explores the year 2 reading and writing objectives through an adventure writing theme. Please see the preview picture for the objectives covered.
It is based around the book The Tin Forest by Helen Ward and links well to my setting description unit of work in my shop, a great follow up unit along the same topic.
There are also ideas of cross curricular links to make The Tin Forest a half termly topic.
All planning is on powerpoint slides that can be used in the lesson and contains teacher notes and printable resources.

Need to Know Learning Matrix
I use these to assess student understanding and progress through the term and to provide quality feedback without the need for excessive comment writing.
I simply put the matrix in the front of the students book, every time I mark their books I highlight the relevant criteria in one colour (usually yellow) and criteria I would like them to attempt in DIRT in another (usually pink). Once the criteria to attempt is achieved I simply tick it off on the matrix.
In their books I will write WWW and list the codes for the criteria achieved. I will then draw steps to indicate how to level up and write the corresponding codes of criteria I want them to attempt.
The Need to Know questions are based on the lessons & learning objectives over the term, which are also used to create the coded success criteria.
I find this technique reduces the time I spend marking books however allows me to provide quality feedback and to clearly see progress over the term.
It's great for outline the SoW and encouraging independent learning.
Hope it's of use.
