Starting Points: The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch UPDATED

Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch by David Ronda Armitage 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 2.  

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

• Use of the suffix –ly to turn adjectives into adverbs

• Expand noun phrases for description and specification

• How the grammatical patterns in a sentence indicate its function as a statement, question, exclamation or command

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

• Apostrophes to mark where letters are missing in spelling and to mark singular possession in nouns.

In this pack we have included the following resources:

• Adverbs -ly cards

• Apostrophes for omission matching cards

• Pictorial Content Vocabulary cards

• Emotion graph

• Expanded Noun Phrase task

• Tier 2 vocabulary and definitions

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