What students learn in AC9E4LY08
This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of Words using clearly formed joined letters, with developing fluency and.... The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.
- Start with the main idea: write words using clearly formed joined letters, with developing fluency and automaticity.
- Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
- Practise with varied examples so students can recognise the concept in more than one form.
- Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
