Learning objectives: Literacy - Year 3

L 3.1 Recognise some familiar words in written form   View this objective over 4 years >> Learning opportunities Understand words displayed in the classroom Identify and read simple words Read and understand simple messages   Knowledge about language Recognise how sounds are represented in written form Notice the spelling of familiar words   Language learning strategies Play games to help to remember Use context of what they see/read to determine some of the meaning   Teaching activities Read from word and sentence cards which form part of the classroom display. They notice the spelling of familiar words displayed regularly on the wall or on the board. The cards can be used to highlight sound patterns, letter strings and to identify word classes, such as verbs. When reading a familiar story or singing a song, children hold up word cards when their words are mentioned. Alternatively, children work in pairs or small groups with three or four familiar word cards. Listening to the song, they place the words in the order in which they hear them. Receive and read short simple messages from a partner school, another teacher or language assistant. An email link with a partner class abroad can give the opportunity to read short, simple messages frequently. Play 'Where am I?', a familiar sentence or string of words is clearly visible. The teacher reads aloud but stops at different points. The children must say the next word in the sequence being read. Play Anagram Jigsaws: in small groups children work on jigsaw puzzles in which familiar words have been cut into two halves. They try to find all the matching pairs to make the words. Sort word cards into dictionary order by their first letter; children are given frequent practice in sorting words alphabetically by playing the Dictionary Sorting game - working in groups of four or five, each child holds a text card and must stand in dictionary order, e.g. apple, carrot, egg, gherkin, ice-cream. Read aloud key words in a variety of voices or moods, e.g. chant a familiar finger rhyme or poem in different styles, such as happy, sad, angry, shy. Use ICT for games which link spoken with written words.
