Reading - Introduction
Retell the story of The Three Little Pigs together, using the sections you learnt by heart in the previous session.
Reading - Main Activity
Explain that a really good way of learning a story is to draw a map!
Show your student 📄 The Three Little Pigs Story Map and Pictures.
Look at the pictures and talk about the story that is mapped out.
Together, make your story map of The Three Little Pigs.
If your student has other parts of the story you may wish to make your own story map on a large piece of paper, adding in your own pictures too.
You may give your student time at the end to colour their map in.
At the end, retell the story together by following the pictures on your student's finished story map.
Reading - What to Notice
While they are doing this activity, remember to praise your student for the skills they are using.
For example:
‘Your story map shows that you have remembered the story really well.’
Handwriting and Spelling
This lesson, please can you:
- Encourage your student to read through their writing to make sure they have spelt words correctly.
Words they need to look out for are:
a, an, as, at, if, in, is, it, of, off
- Ask them to write a sentence with one of these words in it.
- Ask them to look for these words in one of their reading or bedtime books.
- Dictate these sentences to them. They should use their best handwriting:
A cat sat on the red mat.
The cat had a look at the mat because he liked red.
