What does UofS Online v 6 look like?
• First we’re going to look at a page of Dictation
• Then try one of the sentence writing activities
from Stage 1
• And then try a paragraph writing activity from
Stage 2, using the first two steps of CODE
• CODE stands for Create, Organise, Draft, Edit
• CODE takes place over 3 sessions
Then we’ll look at a Reading Page
• And then look at the Reading Check you’ve got
in your hand-out
• Reading Check Stage 1 Set 4
• The student would have completed Reading
Stage 1 Page 16 before doing this

story.
