Explicit teaching support and carefully constructed practice for reading, spelling and writing for Stages Plus 4 and 5
Little Learners Love Literacy® is an explicit and sequential literacy program that teaches ALL children to read, write and spell with confidence. Created from evidence-based research, this new edition Teacher Activity Resource book will ensure teaching of reading, spelling and handwriting is effective, targeted and explicit.
How do I use it?
The Teacher Activity Resource books provide simple lesson plans and activities for each week. Each lesson is designed around the LLLL explicit teaching model:

Use the TAR alongside the Little Learners Love Literacy® decodable books and practise games such as Sound Swap, Tim’s Quiz and Read, write and draw.
Scope and sequence:
Stage 6: sh, ch, tch, th, ng, wh & ph
In Stage 6, children continue to learn consonant digraphs (2 letters, 1 sound) and their first consonant trigraph (3 letters, 1 sound). Unlike Stages Plus 4-5, each digraph in Stage 6 represents a brand new phoneme. Students learn when to use alternative spellings. The focus continues to be on reading and spelling – reversible skills which need to be linked for the most effective teaching.
