Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination.
Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules.

This unit links to the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements in the Programme of Study and considers the key historical enquiry question, How do we find out about Florence Nightingale? It introduces the children to the idea of historical sources, introduces the concepts of old and new, and encourages them to think about the life and times of a famous person. The approach used could be applied to the study of other famous people. It provides a wide range of opportunities for children to develop their spoken language. It is helpful if the children have: ordered events in time and used everyday terms about the passing of time; answered questions about people/ events in the past using pictures and written sources; recounted episodes from stories about the past; looked for similarities and differences between today and the past.

Sample one week lesson plans from LCP’s Phonics Planning 3rd Edition
Day-by-Day Lesson Plans based on Letters and Sounds
Please note: This is just the planning and does not come with the lesson’s resources.
What is LCP Phonics Planning? It is not a phonics teaching scheme and I have assumed that your school already has such a scheme in place, for example, LCP Phonics.
There are many other commercially produced schemes available. LCP Phonics Planning is a planning tool for teachers who are teaching phonics using the Letters and
Sounds document from the DfE. It is a guide and should be used with flexibility and at a pace which is appropriate to each group or class.
Objectives and criteria for success:
Teach new graphemes for reading (p134) ay ou ie.
Teach the rules for spelling words containing these digraphs. (Appendix 6).
Teach reading the tricky word people (p140) and decodable words house, about (p141).
Teach reading and spelling compound words. (Appendix 7).
Practise reading and spelling high frequency words (p141/p148).
