Year 3 Term 1. Report Unit. National Literacy Strategy.
Department for Education and Skills, London (England).
In this unit of work, Year 3 children will learn to use the contents and index pages and to extract information about "Teeth and eating" from different types of non-fiction texts, including ICT (Information and Communications Technology) texts. After analyzing a non-chronological report, they will write a report on the subject of "Teeth and eating" (paying particular attention to the use of commas in lists and the correct spelling of content words and those with prefixes and long vowels). This unit of work has been linked specifically to the QCA (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority) Science scheme of work, Unit 3A, "Teeth and eating." The plan of the unit is based on a teaching sequence which starts by exploring the reading objectives and moves into writing. An additional teaching sequence for spelling plots a route from learning and practicing the conventions of spelling through learning how to use strategies for spelling in the context of the topic words for "Teeth and eating" and concludes with learning to proofread. A total of 24 resource sheets include some materials on the subject of teeth and eating and reports for analysis and demonstration. (RS)
