A3 Reading / Writing Lesson Sheet

Over 2 sessions...

Use a plain A3 sheet and fold it into four sections.

Each section then becomes an area in which the child works.

After an 'experience' eg. holiday, weekend, activity, outing etc, the child draws a picture in the top left section.

In the top right section they dictate a sentence to an adult about their picture,  the adult writes the sentence clearly and large enough for the words to be copied and cut out later.

The top right section (dictated sentence) then gets photocopied.   

In another session the sentence and picture is reviewed and the child cuts up the copied sentence and glues it back together across the bottom sections.  The top right section is left for the child to review while pasting.

This could be made more difficult by blocking out the top right hand section while the child is pasting.

The finished product is an A3 page with a picture in the top left corner, dictation in the top right corner, and this dictation cut and pasted across the bottom.

These would be great then made up into a class book.

TO HELP YOU WE HAVE MADE UP A FREE  BLM WHICH CAN BE ENLARGED ONTO AN A3 PAGE....

This reading / writing lesson sheet would also be ideal to use along with the language experience approach.
