Resources
These reading resources were originally developed for deaf children at
Royal Cross Primary School, Preston.
- Sight
Vocabulary is specified for each stage. Unlike
traditional reading schemes a wide range of content vocabulary is included. This ensures that pupils who are not able to use phonic
approaches to reading have a broad enough sight vocabulary to be
able to read and understand the books at each level. Words selected in the early stages are those most likely to be within
their live communication. This means that many of the English Grammatical function
words targeted in the National Literacy Strategy are included at the level pupils are
likely to begin understanding their function and meaning.
- Comprehension
Assessments are
completed once pupils have achieved the Sight Vocabulary Profile. This is a read and draw
activity at the lower levels and comprehension questions at the higher
levels.
- Reading
Activity Packs support the development of sight vocabulary and ability to read for meaning within
each stage. Working through the pack introduces pupils to the
sight vocabulary for that level. Each activity pack consist of sight vocabulary cards (which can be
cut out and made into flip-flaps), read and draw activities and
comprehension activities. The packs are intended to be used
sequentially as vocabulary from previous activities are reinforced
alongside the introduction of new words.
- Language Profiles
and Signs in Context focus
on developing pupils' ability to modify signs to reflect the actual
meaning of the word or phrase or for oral pupils, to explain how the
meaning changes. 'Signs in Context' are highlighted for each level.
These will be introduced as flash cards. Pupils should be able
to list the different signs that can be used for a specific word or
phrase. Their understanding can also be developed through
writing. click here
