A Literacy Scheme of Work
SLD Schools
Introduction
This scheme was written in Summer 2002 by teachers from four Hertfordshire SLD schools working at each of the four key stages. It is intended to support Medium Term Planning.
The scheme provides termly modules that will enable coverage of balance, range and progression. It corresponds to the National Literacy Strategy and the National Curriculum.
Each module provides different learning objectives, suggested activities and resources. Suggested texts are provided for most of the modules, but this list is by no means exhaustive. As
you know, finding age appropriate texts is always difficult and we would welcome any suggestions to add to our own.
The Scheme and the National Curriculum
The scheme is intended to be inclusive and is designed to follow the national Curriculum and provide activities for pupils working within the 'P' levels towards Level 1. Not only are the
recommended texts and learning objectives age appropriate, but they link with the orders for pupils in mainstream education at all Key Stages.
Cross-curricular Links
Communication and literacy skills facilitate access to all areas of the curriculum. ICT support should be made available as appropriate. Teachers may wish to take opportunities to make
texts relevant within other curriculum areas. Page numbers may link with numeracy for example, or studying The Tempest may link with science or geography, but these are not
explicitly laid out within the activities in the scheme, since the scheme is not designed to be prescriptive.
In producing the scheme, we acknowledge the use of the following reference materials:
