Little Red

We will begin our English journey with the text 'Little Red' by Bethan Woollvin. This fun adaptation puts a modern twist on the original story of Little Red Riding Hood. 

In Guided Reading we will be:

• Developing our love of reading by reading this text,
• Predicting what will happen next,
• Comparing similarities between this book and the original text,
• Text marking and picking out key language,
• Sequencing events,
• Inferring how a character is feeling.

In English we will be:

• Focusing on capital letters and full stops,
• Using the conjunction 'and'
• Punctuating sentences using ? and !

We will then apply these skills to a short writing outcome weekly, for example, a setting description of a Forest, a character description on Little Red and creating a wanted poster for the Wolf.

In addition to these sessions we will be learning our daily phonics, spelling rules and handwriting.
