Literacy focus scheme of work- 83 slides, skill building, comprehension, SPaG - Zombie themed

Included in this package is a brand new literacy based scheme of work written for 2021 and based upon recent pedagogy and research into raising literacy skills.

There are 83 task packed, fully differentiated slides complete with teaching notes, several introductory lessons followed by a zombie apocalypse themed range of tasks, aimed at developing crucial literacy skills in pupils of all abilities, including:

• SPaG
• Reading comprehension
• active reading strategies
• Vocabulary development
• Cross-curricular skills
• Inference and analysis
• Annotation
• Understanding of text type, purpose and audience
• Recognition of bias
• Writing for various audiences and purposes

Originally written for year 7 literacy lessons held fortnightly, this scheme would also be suitable for years 8 and 9 and integrates well with English curriculum, or can sit outside of this. Teaching notes make it easier for a non-specialist to deliver the scheme and the skills and strategies are very much designed to help pupils see the links between reading and writing across subjects.

Lessons include a range of media-based tasks and a creative approach to vocabulary building with testing and practice built into lessons. Vocabulary has been carefully selected utilising knowledge of examination language and tier 2 tier 3 words selected from research into beneficial vocab building. There are also opportunities for homework around the vocab learning tasks, if appropriate for your school and cohort.

All necessary resources are also included.
