Phonics - Apply
Write this caption on the mini whiteboard: the crook had soot on his hoody. Then ask your student to read the caption.
If your student finds caption reading easy, rather than you writing the caption, you can say the caption and they can write it on the whiteboard.

Reading & Writing - Introduction
Read the poem ‘Apple and the Worm’ to your student.
Reading & Writing - New Learning
Remind your student that when they have read stories in previous lessons, they have been trying to sound like a storyteller.
Tell them that they are going to learn to read poems like a performer – to make the poem sound exciting.
Reading & Writing - Main Activity
Look at the printed copy of ‘Apple and the Worm’.
Ask your student, ‘Which words could you say in an exciting way?’
Give your student the example of the word slimy. Say the word slimyto your student in a way that makes it sound interesting. For example, you can stretch the ‘i’ sound to make the word sound stretchy like slime.
Ask your student to use a pen to underline ‘slimy’ and other words that can be read in an exciting or interesting way. Ask your student to tell you how they could make the words sound interesting.
Reading & Writing - Extra Support
If your student needs extra support to find words to read in an interesting way, you could say, ‘This word says slippery. How could I say slippery in a way that sounds interesting or exciting?’
Reading & Writing - Extra Challenge
Encourage your student to find short phrases to read in an exciting way. For example, I felt it squirm.
Reading & Writing - What to Notice
Support your student as they read the poem, making the words they have underlined sound exciting.
