Ready to Write Guidance
Planning
Are you looking for a unit of work that you can use at the start of year 4 to check children's understanding of GPS based on their experience of year 3? Then look no further than this Year 4 Ready to Write Guidance resource.
The resource includes a timetable to show a suggested order in which to recap the key learning from year 3. The timetable is then broken down into guidance for individual lessons that cover objectives such as tenses, speech and how to expand sentences using different aspects of speech to name but a few.
Each individual lesson guidance can be used by any adult in the class as it comes with notes and guidance to offer support as well as a set of focused questions to help get you started with your class. There are a range of resources that are available for each lesson to support the teaching in each lesson, including teaching resources such as teaching PowerPoints, worksheets and much more!
