Age 10-11- Mars Reading Round Robin Session- Independent Spelling

This is the independent spelling session in a round robin rotation of activities. We concentrate on strategies to spell problem words, tricky words and words with the suffixes –tial or -cial.

A PowerPoint is provided for support with modelled strategies for 10 to 14 words. There is also PowerPoint support in using read, sound, write, check to assess and learn problem words from Fry sight word list 1 by using a phonics chart to identify graphemes. Pictures, sounds and actions support identification of phonemes.

The session is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales). It is the sixth session in a unit based around a mission to Mars with Literacy, Maths and other Curriculum lessons planned.

There is a lesson plan which includes:

• suggested links to curriculums;
• notes to provide lesson support;
• main, groups and plenary sections with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
• sections of the lesson linked to Blooms taxonomy;
• PowerPoint presentations to support teaching;
• differentiated group activities;
• consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles; and
• independent activities that are planned to aim to allow the teacher to support or extend an assessment group within the lesson.

The plan and PowerPoints are detailed and thorough to provide teaching structure, if needed, for the whole, or parts, of the session. An alternative streamlined PowerPoint is also provided.

Thankyou,
