I am currently Head of Literacy at a Secondary school.
I teach English, as well as Literacy lessons to children with SEN. I carry out Literacy/Phonics interventions.
Before that, I was a primary school teacher for 6 years (a year in year 3, a year in year 5 and the rest of my time was in year 6!).
All resources have been taught and planned by me.
I am leader of literacy at my school so all planning is high quality.

Schemes of learning for SEN/ lower sets for year 7,8,9,10 and 11.
These schemes are designed to support literacy skills with a focus on vocabulary, reading and writing.
They have been created by a Head of Literacy at a secondary school with previous primary school experience.
All schemes were taught to classes and are designed to be engaging and supportive.
They centre around a novel which is read to the class at the beginning of the session followed by activities.
The schemes are based on the following texts:
Year 7- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Year 8- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Year 9- The Hunger Games
Year 10- The Giver
Year 11- The 57 Bus
Each scheme contains 12-18 hour long lessons. They are designed to be taught over a half term/term (depending on how often you see your class).
They are progressive. They can be taught as additional English lessons, as interventions or discrete literacy lessons.
