This is four lessons of whole class reading based on the book The Wild Robot. These are all PowerPoints with differentiated resources - and the planning is in the notes sections of the slides. The slides are created using dual coding strategies to reduce the children’s cognitive overload and hopefully support children with SEN and EAL. Each lesson has a ‘Steps to Success’ section which allows the children an overview of what they can do in this lesson to complete the learning successfully. These use simple imagery to support each step and hopefully help the children remember each step. The lesson is based on direct instruction with the teacher modeling an example then discussing non-examples and then working with the children to complete an example together. At the end there is reminder of the steps to success and a diagnostic question yo help support your AFL. Some of the prior attainment (retrieval) task at the start are based on previous books the children have read based on our Rise of the Robots topic and these can be changed to match your previous books. Weekly Overview: Lesson One -Vocabulary lesson - identifying adverbs in a text Lesson Two - Visualising - using adjectives to create a picture Lesson Three - Retrieval - finding and recording information Lesson Four - Drama - identifying character actions from information in text
