National Literacy Strategy
Structure of the Literacy Hour

In the early stages of the Literacy Strategy the following structure was recommeded:
Whole class teaching:
15 Minutes text level work
15 minutes sentence or word level work
Group work: 20 minutes
Plenary: 10 minutes

The sequence for teaching was for guidance. It may be more appropriate to start with whole class word level work.
Recent further guidance in the
Grammar for Writing and Developing Early Writing publications suggests a slightly different format for whole class work.
