Lost and Found Year 1 Writing

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.
