Learning goals

  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies, such as visualising, predicting, connecting, summarising and questioning to make meaning.
  • We are learning to write known lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations, functional posture and pencil grip.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts.
  • We are learning to write words using unjoined lower case and upper case letters using functional pencil grip.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts and begin to analyse texts by drawing on our knowledge.
  • We are learning to identify features, such as characters and settings, of different literary texts and give reasons for personal preferences.
  • We are learning to explore language to provide reasons for likes, dislikes and preferences.
  • We are learning to understand texts can be in many forms such as signs, books and digital texts.
  • We are learning to understand texts can be in many forms and that stories and informative texts have different purposes.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies, such as retelling, making inferences and finding key words to make meaning from multimodal texts.
  • We are learning to write known lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations, correct posture and pencil grip.
  • We are learning to understand that speech, gestures, writing, symbols and icons e.g. emojis are used to communicate needs, likes and dislikes.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts.
  • We are learning to form all upper and lower-case letters correctly.
  • We are learning to identify aspects of different types of literary texts that entertain and give reasons for personal preferences.
  • We are learning to write upper and lower-case unjoined letters and sentences legibly using correct pencil grip and posture.
