This Year 1 writing unit consists of 16 lessons fully linked to a core text and designed to support progression in early writing skills. Each lesson follows a consistent structure where prior learning is revisited, the learning sequence is introduced, and key vocabulary from the book is explicitly taught to support understanding and application in writing. The unit includes lesson slides and resources in both ActivInspire and PowerPoint formats so they can be easily edited and adapted. Lessons cover key Year 1 objectives including phonics, plurals using -s and -es, capital letters, nouns and adjectives. Writing outcomes are in the form of dictated sentences, with additional scaffolded activities provided for lower ability learners such as CVC and CVCC word writing or identifying initial sounds. Alongside the main teaching sequence, this resource includes ideas and materials for continuous provision to reinforce learning through independent activities. Images of these activities are included to support classroom setup and provide inspiration for writing opportunities across provision areas. This resource is suitable for teachers following a book-based approach and those seeking a structured writing sequence with built-in differentiation and editable tools for planning and delivery.

Five weeks worth of reading lessons based on the book ‘The Penguin Who Wanted to Find Out’ by Jill Tomlinson. Each week has five separate lessons, Monday to Friday, and includes differentiated activities (purple- sen/LA, orange- MA and green- expected children) as well as a typed out copy of the text to give to the children. Each week vocabulary from the text is picked up and discussed and the same text is explored all week to ensure that children have a deeper understanding. Each lesson has the opportunity to model, echo and choral read part of the text as well as ideas for book talk. The lessons look at different reading skills- retrieval, vocabulary, inference, summarising, predicting and sequencing. The lessons were created for a year 3 cohort but could be used with higher able year 2’s. You NEED activinspire to access the lesson slides.
