Following on from the success of the Year 7 Nurture/Literacy Skills program last half term, we have introduced this to other year groups, and we are currently working with two Year 8s.
These sessions are 40 minutes, and 25 minutes of these are spent on reading, sounding out words we are unsure of, looking at how sentences and paragraphs are formed, and beginning to recognise the use of punctuation. At the end, there is either an online quiz or questions from the book to complete, which aids in tracking and monitoring throughout learning. We are currently working on both Read, Write, Inc. and the Talisman Series, and at present, a book takes between one and two sessions to complete, depending on new vocabulary.
This is followed by a 15-minute nurture session, where they have Lego to assist with communication, fine motor skills, speaking and listening skills, and emotional literacy.
