Starting Points: Leaf Man

Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert you’ll find ideas to support spoken language, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling.  This Starting Points resource will give you everything you need to plan a beautiful book-based unit of work for children in Year 1.

In this set of Starting Points, we have planned for the following grammar objectives:

• Regular plural noun suffixes –s or -es

• Sequencing sentences to form short narratives

• Separation of words with spaces

• Introduction to capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences

• Joining words and joining clauses using and

• Capital letters for names and the personal pronoun I.

Starting Points are sets of book-based planning ideas. The books are not included in the packs.
