At ISP, we follow the scheme ‘Talk for Writing’. The children learn the story orally, incorporating actions and remembering repeated refrains. We work together to create story maps and retell the story through drama and song before moving onto various writing tasks linked to the focus story.

The children have thoroughly enjoyed focusing on a new book every 2/3 weeks and completing some amazing Literacy work linked to our topics.

We explore…

• My Name is…
• Letter formation and tricky word practice;
•  List poems;
• Guided Reading;
• Story sequencing and story maps;
• Non-fiction fact files and instructions;
• Rhyming word work;
