This is an effective literacy planning format, particularly useful if you DON’T want to spend hours planning each week. This planning format is based on a 3-week cycle during which the children will cover the following areas in literacy: Spelling - focus/pattern. Grammar focus. Punctuation focus. Writing focus (writing to instruct/entertain/persuade/report/explain). Topic-related literacy lessons. Comprehension task. BIG WRITE (planning and writing stage). Handwriting task. Just fill in the gaps each week and make your planning style much more flexible and less time consuming! Word and PDF formats attached so fully editable.
