’Read and Respond’ unit to support home learning in English and Literacy, Year 3 - Week 6: Fun in the Forest.
This resource includes an electronic set of plans for parents for English and Literacy in Year 3.
These newly created exciting ‘Read and Respond’ units will support home learning in English and Literacy. The ‘mini units’, available for Years 1-6 inclusive, provide daily English lesson plans and have been designed for you to send home to parents on a weekly basis. (Reception guidance for Literacy is also available, though in a slightly different format).
All the plans use text extracts freely downloadable from LoveReading4Kids, Oxford Owl or websites with free audio recordings.
Week 6 topic for Year 3: Fun in the Forest.
It is suggested that each unit is sent to parents with an accompanying letter as a way of the class teacher personally introducing the unit of work. This will provide the teacher with the opportunity to address any particular sections of the plan, provide supporting materials (e.g. a writing frame) where appropriate and/or make reference to any prior learning. An editable example of how this might look is also included.

Summer 2 overview - Available now!
Due to popular demand, the Primary English and Literacy team have created a second overview of units to support schools, teachers, parents and children.
This follows on from an overview produced for Summer 1 including 6 weeks of plans for Reception to Y6. You may not have used the full suite yet due to this being a 5 week half term!
The Summer 2 overview includes 4 weeks of plans from Reception to Y6 which can be used at home or in school.
As in previous weeks, an example letter is included which teachers can send to parents in order to provide additional guidance, or to tailor the units to particular classes.
Many schools have been enhancing the units in the following ways:
-Providing word banks to support each day or week
-Teachers reading aloud some of the stories, poems and texts and sending via an online platform/school website so the children can ‘see and hear’ them
-Designing additional activities linked to the suggested texts to make links across the curriculum
We hope the units continue to be useful and please share any feedback on our Facebook page….

This follows on from an overview produced for Summer 1 including 6 weeks of plans for Reception to Y6. You may not have used the full suite yet due to this being a 5 week half term!
The Summer 2 overview includes 4 weeks of plans from Reception to Y6 which can be used at home or in school.
As in previous weeks, an example letter is included which teachers can send to parents in order to provide additional guidance, or to tailor the units to particular classes.
Many schools have been enhancing the units in the following ways:
-Providing word banks to support each day or week
-Teachers reading aloud some of the stories, poems and texts and sending via an online platform/school website so the children can ‘see and hear’ them
-Designing additional activities linked to the suggested texts to make links across the curriculum
We hope the units continue to be useful and please share any feedback on our Facebook page….

’Read and Respond’ unit to support home learning in English and Literacy, Reception - Week 11: Monster Mash.
This resource includes an electronic set of plans for parents for English and Literacy in Reception.
These newly created exciting ‘Read and Respond’ units will support home learning in English and Literacy. The ‘mini units’, available for Years 1-6 inclusive, provide daily English lesson plans and have been designed for you to send home to parents on a weekly basis. (Reception guidance for Literacy is also available, though in a slightly different format).
All the plans use text extracts freely downloadable from LoveReading4Kids, Oxford Owl or websites with free audio recordings.
Week 11 topic for Reception: Monster Mash.
It is suggested that each unit is sent to parents with an accompanying letter as a way of the class teacher personally introducing the unit of work. This will provide the teacher with the opportunity to address any particular sections of the plan, provide supporting materials (e.g. a writing frame) where appropriate and/or make reference to any prior learning. An editable example of how this might look is also included.
