Your child will be developing literacy skills including:
Developing their vocabulary, learning about settings, studying characters and following instructions. Your child will lead their own research, present their findings, give their considered opinion and reasons for it. They will have the chance to create their own resources, teach others and develop their comprehension skills. They will undoubtedly improve their writing, become a more fluent reader and increase in confidence in their own ability. They will have opportunities to write for many different purposes throughout this pack, all of which are centred around the wonderful world of Minecraft. All these tasks plus mazes, colouring and drawing will improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. There are also many opportunities for reading throughout the pack, activities which encourage remembering details, following instructions and recalling facts.
What age is the Legendary Literacy suitable for?
Our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 7-14+ years. However, we always say that ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won’t necessarily be right for another of the same age. It is suitable for a large variety of ages. Young children can be read to and scribed for or use pictures as responses. Older/more confident children can work independently and respond to tasks in greater depth and detail. The pack is suitable for even the most reluctant of writers as it beautifully focuses on Minecraft rather than writing!
Do I need anything else?
In order to get the most from this curriculum we suggest providing your child with safe internet access for research, PowerPoint, a Minecraft story book and the other resources listed within the pack (ingredients for recipes, Lego and paper for example).
