Not bad for essentially what we need to cover in the next 9 months and that isn’t even allowing for the fact she is 9 months younger than some Year 2 kids. Who needs numeracy hour!
Literacy Goals for Yr 1 according to NC in UK
I’m looking at Yr 1 here because i know she is a long way behind the Yr 2 ones so i figure we might as well tick these first!
# Break down common words into their component sounds (sound out) in order to read and spell them. – yes
# read familiar common words (e.g only, going, don’t, once, would) – would be useful to find a word list here and practise some of the un-sound-out-able ones.
# read and spell simple words ending in -ck, -ff, -ll, -ss, -ng (e.g lock, stuff) – yes, as far as the reading schemes we use go.
# recognise spelling patterns with long vowel sounds ‘oo’, ‘ai’, ‘ie’, ‘oa’, ‘ee’ (e.g boat, book) and use them to read and spell. – seemed to be doing this with the JP video!
# understand the terms vowel and consonant – MUST teach her this!
# write independently – getting there.
# understand if his reading makes sense – yes
# read simple familiar texts aloud with expression – yes
# understand basic word order in a sentence – yes
# add question marks to questions – yes
# compare oral and written stories and know the difference – eh? (i think i thoguht that before too!)
# retell stories, picking out key points – yes
# read a variety of poems and contrast them and talk about common themes – yes
# write simple stories and poems (often based on something read in class) – crumbs.. really?
# recognise the difference between non-fiction books and fiction – yes
# identify simple questions and use texts to find the answers – not yet.
I think so far as all that goes we just need to keep on, keeping on.
