This unit of work addresses the text type of non-chronological report writing. Students are exposed to the various language and structural features that make up this type of text and are encouraged consistently to think about Purpose, Audience and Form. Students are introduced to this text type before working with the class teacher in modelling non-chronological texts before they go on to compose their own.
Secondly, small groups will be working with the SLSO throughout each of these lessons in completing Literacy Tasks which focus on particular skills such a grammar and sentence structure.
Students complete these tasks with 1:3 (maximum) support on a rotational basis throughout each 2-week learning cycle.
Alongside this, the class teacher will be conducting the 1:1 Reinforced Reading component of the MultiLit Program. Levelled Informative Texts are read by the students at least once per 2-week learning cycle. The Pause, Prompt, Praise delivery of the program will allow the teacher to gauge reading fluency, accuracy and comprehension (verbally discussed after each 15 min reading session). The teacher will select 5 words of difficulty from the session and these are recorded by student in the back of their English book. Throughout the plenary of each lesson, the student will use each word in a written sentence in their books.
Assessment of student goals, strengths and areas for improvement are consistently assessed via teacher questioning and discussion. The core key questions of the unit will be informally discussed and assessed using a student friendly Assessment Rubric throughout Weeks 9 and 10.
Students will:
• Complete a series of Literacy assessments which will benchmark their ability and areas for progress
• Complete MultiLit’s 1:1 Reinforced Reading Program twice per week and have their progress assessed and charted fortnightly
• Work in pair and individual settings with the class SLSO as they complete differentiated work on Literacy skills.
