Scheme of Working for English and Communication for SLD Schools in Hertfordshire Scheme of work written by: Mary Bradbury, Lakeside School Tony Fenwick, Woodfield School Jackie Joiner, Greenside School Vibele Rowe, Amwell View School Supported by: Jo Miller Hertfordshire KS3 Literacy Consultant Brigid de Rivaz Hertfordshire KS2 Literacy Consultant 116103795 September 2003 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: QCA Planning, teaching and assessing the curriculum for pupils with learning difficulties National Literacy Strategy Guidance and Text Range Equals Literacy Strategy Equals Practical Literacy Activities The National Curriculum The English Scheme of Work by Glenwood School, Essex 116103795 September 2003 Key Stage One Autumn 1 Spring 1 Summer 1 Autumn 2 Spring 2 Summer 2 Read List Title Familiar nursery rhymes and stories Cambridge Big Book of Nursery Rhymes Book of Nursery Rhymes Ten in the Bed Five Little Ducks This Old Man This Old Man Traditional Stories and Rhymes We're Going on a Bear Hunt The Little Red hen Hot Hippo Down by the River Stories with everyday settings The Train Ride Amazing Grace Where's Spot?
