This detailed English plan will support teachers in years 1 and / or 2 deliver an exciting and engaging instructions unit. The plan has been carefully crafted to allow children to meet the heightened demands of Curriculum 2014. The plan weaves together the statements from the reading (word reading and comprehension) and writing (transcription, handwriting, composition, VGP and spelling) components of the 2014 curriculum, showing how all of these aspects of learning can be addressed through creative learning experiences. The plan is based on an engaging text that allows for exciting opportunities to develop the children’s reading, writing and spoken language.
