Form time literacy reading/ oracy/ vocabulary activity

The new form time literacy activity aimed at improving students vocabulary.

Each forms’ literacy leader has had training on how to lead the form time activity in order to make the form time literacy activity student lead.

The layout of the form time activity is as follows:

Slide 1- Students practice their oracy by taking it in turns to read a sentence from a book passage that is displayed on the board.

Slide 2- Students will undertake an activities aimed at increasing their vocabulary.

Firstly, students will use their phones or dictionaries to research the definitions of any unfamiliar words they have found in the text.

Secondly, students will match the word to an image that best represents the definition of the word to check their understanding.

Following this, students will then put the word into a new sentence.
Finally, the literacy leaders will ask for examples of sentences and as a form, decide on which sentence was the best.

This winning sentence will then be emailed to the head of house who will choose a house winner. This will be announced in assemblies the following week.

See the video below for an example of Literacy leaders running the literacy activity.
