5 lessons

  • Fiction reading spine
  • Traditional tales

Description

In this unit, pupils read and explore the text, 'Yoshi the Stonecutter'. They use a range of strategies to decode words and build reading fluency. Finally, they learn to sequence the story and make connections to the text.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' understanding of traditional tales and their structure, which was explored in the prior unit 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. Pupils will have the opportunity to read the text aloud, using and applying their developing phonic knowledge. The unit supports pupils to read with expression, as well as teaching strategies for retrieving information from the text. This unit prepares pupils for the future unit, 'The Children of Lir', where they will read a longer traditional tale with more complex vocabulary in both word reading and comprehension.
