This resource is an updated version of my 6 week plan which was uploaded last year. There are some similarities in the planning, however, changes were made due to using Jane Considine’s ‘Hooked on Books’ approach to Reading and loosely using ‘The Write Stuff’ to plan and write using the lenses.

Once all weeks are complete, I will create a bundle with both sets of the unit planning.
