🔍 Lesson Help: WALT, Success Criteria & Support

WALT: We Are Learning To use capital letters at the start of sentences and for proper nouns, titles and days.

Success Criteria:

1. Read the sentence. 2. Find the first word and use a capital letter. 3. Look for proper nouns (names, places, days, organisations) and capitalise them. 4. Reread to check.

Differentiation strategies:

- Support (I do / We do): Provide sentence strips with highlighted first word and proper nouns; practise orally then write.

- Scaffolded (We do): Give the student a copy with lowercase letters to change to capitals using a coloured pencil.

- Independent (You do): Students rewrite full sentences and check with a partner or teacher.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options:

- Use clear, sans-serif fonts at larger size when printing; increase spacing between lines. Colour-highlight the first word of each sentence and proper nouns. Read sentences aloud first and allow oral responses before writing.

Extension activities (for advanced learners):

- Identify and correct capitals in a short paragraph. Write a short paragraph with a title using correct title case. Find and list any acronyms and explain why they use capitals (e.g., NASA, AFL).

Teaching approach reminder: Use explicit teaching (I do, We do, You do), check understanding with quick whiteboard responses, and offer hands-on tasks (sentence strips, matching names to places) for kinesthetic learners.
