This resource is a week’s worth of planning that I use in our final week of school to enjoy whole class Guided Reading in a fun way while still promoting those fundamental reading skills. Questions are appropriate for Year 4 but this resource could easily be adapted across Key Stage 2. Questions framed around DERIC: Decode Explain Retrieve Infer / Interpret Choice

Mainstream Core Standard Teacher Checklist Referral Physical and Sensory

This A3 sheet is a one stop shop for Mainstream Core Standards to give classroom staff the knowledge and power to reflect and analyse their provision for their children with SEND. The document itself provides the specific areas of need, which is subsequently broken down by barrier to learning and what this might look like in the classroom. These barriers are then cross referenced with resources and interventions that could be put in place to help that child. For example, if you have a child with cognition and learning difficulties, with a suspected issue with working memory, you could look in this section, see that the child might present with a difficulty in following instructions or may appear distracted and then see a list of suggested resources or interventions to use to support this child with their difficulty. In my school, this document is used for teachers to highlight the child’s needs and then gives them independence to put in place and try different strategies to support the child. They are encouraged to try this for a term and then record notes in the grid on the sheet about what they have tried and what the impact of this has been on the child. This process supports the use of the MCS and also helps to narrow down the area of need the child may have an issue with. It’s a really helpful resource for the teachers and a great tool to use as a SENCO when analysing children’s needs and planning their provision. Please see my other Area of Need MCS documents for sale or buy the whole set at a discounted rate.
