Part 2 (No word limit) Use the proforma provided.
Plan a systematic sequence of effective teaching, learning and assessment, based on a given data set for year 2. Explain and justify how you will apply the salient features you have identified in part 1 to enhance children’s reading across different texts in the following areas:
Think about the following and design a lesson for each (which includes appropriate curriculum content descriptors (highlighted for clarity about the specific focus of each lesson, differentiation and assessment) :
• Reading for pleasure using a whole language approach (top down)
• Reading for meaning using both reader response theory and critical literacy
• Reading for accuracy using an explicit model of teaching (bottom up)
• Reading for fluency and expression (prosody) using strategies to practise fluency for example: readers theatre and/or choral reading.

All lessons include the following and your lessons should include these elements:
• A key objective linked to the curriculum and the assessment
• An opening – or lesson hook to get children interested
• Orientation where background knowledge is identified, children are informed with an explanation and reasoning for the learning
• Main Body of the lesson: Synchronised Teaching Steps and Learning steps – this is where there are teaching strategies, techniques, questioning, reflective of the theory used. For eg Cognitive Processing (Explicit teaching) will incorporate I do, we do, you do. Whole language will include interests of readers, creative ideas for meaning making, engagement with a variety of texts, meaning making activities, Transactional Theory (Reader Response) Readers responding to texts and interpret texts and sharing ideas between readers and Critical Theory (Critical literacy) invite children to think and encourage questioning of texts: thinking through purposes of authors and illustrators and comparing thoughts amongst readers.
• Closure – coming back together to reflect offer feedback and check for understanding.
