welcome 1
Please note that this site is in the early stages of construction - 07 March 2009
This blog was written for language schools worldwide which have no access to curriculum materials - the idea being that the materials be adapted as required.
The UK primary English curriculum covers 6 years of study for children with L1 English.
Within this blog, each year is linked in the sidebar on the left. (Work in progress).
Begin with the "Year 1 units" link.
Each year is divided into 3 terms - T1 narrative, T2 non-fiction, and T3 poetry.
Each term is divided into units.
Each unit is divided into phases.
Phases are teaching guides of a few days duration.
Each phase is described in detail for teachers.
Guided by the phases, teachers will need to make their own lesson plans. Suggested duration for each lesson is 1 hour. 1 hour lessons could be split during the day.
Support materials are available and are linked to their relevant web pages and the download links in the sidebar.
This curriculum is designed for native speakers of English, and will need to be adapted by the teacher for second language students. A resource library of children's books will be needed to supplement and support this information. Exact titles mentioned could easily be replaced with similar material.
All information in this blog was taken from the UK DCSF website during late 2008.
The DCSF website has since changed and access to this information seems more difficult and limited on their new site.
