New Generation Literacy Resource Files

Written specially for the Renewed Primary Framework for Literacy, the LCP New Generation Literacy Resource Files are packed with simple and concise literacy lesson plans that are both creative and achievable, giving children the inspiration and the time to enjoy learning.

The LCP New Generation Literacy Resource Files will take the fear out of the Renewed Framework and give you something you can rely on because:

• all the lesson plans and resources are ‘to the point’ and simple
• all the writers are experienced teachers – they know what is achievable in a classroom (and what isn’t!)
• all the literacy lessons s are ‘do-able’ in one hour, we don’t ask you to do too much in each lesson.

Each of the LCP New Generation Literacy Resource Files comprises:

• a ring binder of unit plans, each packed with easy-to-follow, cross-curricular lesson plans and activities that cover all the Framework requirements and bring literacy to life in the classroom, while saving you hours of planning and preparation
• a CD-ROM which contains a wealth of invaluable resources including text extracts and poetry examples that support the lessons. There are also a wealth of PowerPoint® presentations, featuring stories, illustrations and photographs that support the lessons, as well as an electronic version of the whole file, ideal for a whiteboard and perfect for whole-class teaching.

The LCP New Generation Literacy Resource Files encompasses three key areas of study: narrative, non-fiction and poetry.  Each primary literacy lesson plan contains learning objectives and outcomes, clear links to the Renewed Framework, resources, vocabulary, cross-curricular ideas and a range of activities including extension activities, a plenary and guidance on differentiation.

There are also support sheets and recommended reading lists to complement the core teaching guidance.
