The aim of these documents was to specify the key learning in reading and writing for each year group and match statements to show progression from Year a into Year b. The Key Learning statements should help to focus whole class teaching and could be considered as unit objectives. They will enable teachers to plan for mixed age classes by examining the progression and match of statements.
This bundle includes the following documents: Mixed age Key Learning in Reading and Writing for Years 1-2, Years 3-4, Years 4-5 and Years 5-6.
A systematic, synthetic phonics catch up planning programme following on from Red Rose Letters and Sounds.
This planning programme has been developed, evaluated and refined, using the expertise of effective classroom practitioners and phonics experts at LPDS.
The intent behind the programme is to provide rigorous and thorough planning to enable children in Year 2 and KS2, who are falling behind, to catch up with their phonic knowledge and application in reading and writing.
The programme includes:
• a baseline diagnostic screening for blending and segmenting sentences;
• an overview of the Phase 4 and Phase 5 Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences covered;
• carefully sequenced 12 weeks planning focusing on Phase 4 and the high value Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences from Phase 5;
• comprehensive daily lesson planning following the revisit/review, teach, practise and apply phonic teaching sequence;
• an opportunity to revisit all of Phase 2, 3, 4 and 5 Tricky Words, High Frequency Words and Common Exception Words (both decodable and non-decodable);
• word banks that directly match the teaching of focused graphemes. Plus, additional words to broaden vocabulary and to provide stretch and challenge;
• application opportunities planned throughout to ensure blending and segmenting of words and sentences;
• a detailed games document; and
• a comprehensive assessment tool which includes frequent reflection checkpoints.
This bundle pack contains KLIPs for Reading and Writing, and offers a saving of £10.
The KLIPs, or Key Learning Indicators of Performance, have been developed from Lancashire’s National Curriculum Support Materials, which detail the key learning in reading and writing for each year group. These key learning grids for each year group can be used to provide:
Detailed assessment information for the teacher to use to inform their future planning of next steps (formative).
Overall judgements which can be made more summatively (for example once a term), to enable senior leadership teams to track progress across the school, during the year. This will assist schools with self-evaluation and in informing discussions with others e.g. inspection teams, about attainment and progress.
A means of informing parents about attainment and progress.
The underlined statements on the grids have been identified as Key Learning Indicators of Performance (KLIPs) as these have the greatest impact on the further development of skills and subsequent learning. Consequently, the Key Learning Indicators of Performance (KLIPs) play a particularly significant role in the assessment process.
Intent, Implementation and Impact of your curriculum!
These documents will support subject leaders and senior leaders in reflecting on the provision for the different subjects within your school curriculum and how these meet the specific needs of your children. This reflects the emphasis on the whole curriculum in the Ofsted inspection framework from September 2019.
The aim of the Examining Teaching and Learning in… documents is to provide subject leaders with a precise evaluation of the provision for their subject. Once conducted, the information can then be used as a basis for:
the subject improvement plan;
a discussion during an Ofsted inspection;
a position statement report to the governing body; and
general discussions about the subject with senior leaders and teachers in school.
The questions and prompts within the resources have been carefully designed to ensure consistency in a school’s approach to evaluation by the subject leader whilst also focusing on the individual characteristics of each subject area. They can be independently used by schools or be provided as part of a subject specific ‘Health Check’ provided by one of the Lancashire Teaching and Learning Consultants.

This planning programme has evolved from Letters and Sounds 2007 and is underpinned by extensive research in CLL with a key focus on Phonological Awareness and the foundations of literacy. It has been developed by literacy experts at LPDS and piloted by effective classroom practitioners across a range of settings.
The intent is to provide a rigorous and thorough planning programme in order to strengthen the teaching and learning of Phase 1 Phonological Awareness. It will ensure that children become successful communicators, paving the way for them to make a good start on their reading and writing journey.
The programme includes:
a carefully planned clear skill progression embedding the continuum of phonological awareness
a planning framework exemplifying the seven aspects of phonological awareness: Environmental Sounds, Instrumental Sounds, Body Percussion, Rhythm and Rhyme, Alliteration, Voice Sounds, Oral Blending and Segmenting. These have been written in teaching blocks, with a focus on the three strands: Tuning into Sounds, Listening and Remembering Sounds, Talking about Sounds.
comprehensive sections of learning following revisit / review, teach, practise, apply
a skills tracker for coverage and assessment
maximum exposure to quality texts, songs, rhymes and poems
direct teaching and promotion of speaking, listening and attention skills
explicit teaching of new vocabulary which is activated and reviewed
opportunities to develop, enhance and enliven provision, and strengthen quality interactions
links to all Areas of Learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
Suitable for EYFS settings prior to starting any systematic, synthetic phonics programme which begins at Phase 2 or equivalent. It can be used within nursery, with Reception children where needed, for children with SEND or as an intervention.
