Starting Points: The Bog Baby

Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on The Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis 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 KS1.

In addition to ideas for reading and writing, this unit also offers ideas for the following grammar objectives:

• Expanded noun phrases for description and specification

• Correct choice and consistent use of present tense and past tense throughout writing

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

• Commas to separate items in a list

• Apostrophes to mark where letters are missing in spelling.

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