34 Workbooks containing activities
and longer texts matched to students’
phonic knowledge. Students read
and discuss the text several times,
developing comprehension and
uency.
Each Module contains a
ction or non-ction text and
a range of comprehension
and writing activities which
provide practice in the
sounds and graphemes
taught in the phonics
lessons.

Beep! Da-da-dedada! Beep!
“Oh, no, it’s him!” said Jack. “What a dope.
Doesn’t he know phones aren’t allowed at school?”
Gopal grinned as he spoke. “Get a life, Jack!
And it’s not a bad phone, that. Nice ringtone too. Just like mine.”
Gopal pulled a brand new smartphone out of his pocket
and started to tap in some text.
Jack’s voice went high and squeaky.
“You poser! You’ve got just the phone that I want!”
Gopal smiled. “I’ve had it for a while.
A popular bloke like me needs the latest phone, Jack!
I’m texting Rosie, to see if she wants to go to the park after school.”
Jack picked up his bike and rode home alone.
He was the only child left in the class without a phone. He’d been
asking his mum to let him have one since he started his new school.
There was nothing he wanted more.
Mum was back from work early. She was dozing in an armchair,
pretending to read her horoscope. He prepared to cajole his mum
into getting him a phone.

“Mum!” said Jack. “There’s something I need to get! Something
just – so – cool! It’s got all the latest apps and the best camera
for me to take photos of you and Dad. All the kids at school have
got one …”
“Jack! Stop! Just tell me what this amazingly cool thing is!”
He came out with it. “The Smartphone X11!”
Mum almost choked on her tea.
“You must be joking! Do you know what those things cost?
Have you forgotten your dad’s not got a job at the moment?”
“But all the kids at …”
“Then their mums and dads have got more cash than sense!
No moping, Jack! Grandad Cope is coming round for his tea.”
Mum closed the magazine and went off to the kitchen.
By the time Grandad Cope drove away at 10 o’clock,
Jack had a deal.
Point 1: Jack Cope to wash Mr Bill Cope’s van each week
for ten weeks – inside and out.
Point 2: Mr Bill Cope to pay Jack Cope for the (not so new)
Smartphone X9.

Hold a sentence
Jack picked up his bike and rode home alone.
1. Ask students to turn to p.8 in their Module.
2. Use MTYT to say the sentence above. Repeat until the students can remember it.
3. Ask the students to help you write the sentence on the board. Use Spelling Fingers to help spell
Green Words, and Red Rhythms to spell Red Words.
4. Check punctuation in your sentence (capital letter and full stop). Re-read the sentence to check
it makes sense.
5. Hide the sentence and ask students to write it in their Module on p.8.
6. Display the sentence again and ask students to tick/correct each word.
Proofread – spelling and punctuation
1. Ask the students to follow on p.8 of their Module as you read the sentences aloud.
2. Tell students to proofread and correct the sentences, and discuss the corrections with their partner.
3. Ask students to tell you the spelling errors. Write the correct spelling onthe board. Ask them to
tick/correct their work.
4. Re-read the sentences exaggerating the sentence breaks and the effect of punctuation. Ask
students where they have placed the missing punctuation and to tick/correct their work. (The
correct text is: Mum almost choked on her tea. “You must be joking! Do you know what those
things cost? Mobile phones are always getting stolen!”)
5. Make links between this proofreading activity and students proofreading their own writing.
Building vocabulary
Tell students that they are going to explore the word cajole.
1. Write the word cajole on the board. Use MTYT to say it. Say: Jack tried to cajole his mum into
buying him a phone. TTYP: Why did Jack want a phone so desperately?
2. Tell students that they are going to explore how this word can be used, in order to expand their
vocabulary. TTYP: What does this word mean? What other words have a similar meaning?
(persuade gently, wheedle, get round somebody)
3. Ask students to TTYP to say when they might cajole someone. E.g. when you want something,
or somebody to do something. Who might they cajole? A child to eat vegetables, a friend to go
to the park.
839883_Lesson Plans_Module_18.indd 150 02/05/2017 09:07
Module 18

4. Ask students to help you as you TOL (Think out loud) to build a sentence about when you
cajoled your dad into doing something. For example:
•
I cajoled Dad into taking me swimming by promising to tidy my bedroom.
•
I cajoled Dad into taking me to the brand new swimming pool by promising to keep my
bedroom tidy forever.
5. Use MTYT to reinforce the sentences at each stage of the build.
6. Ask students to TTYP to build a sentence together about when they cajoled someone to do
something, including the word cajoled. Ask them to practise saying it until they can remember it.
7. Select a few partners to say their sentences to the group. Suggest rewording if necessary.
8. Ask partners to check if they want to amend their sentence and then write it in their Module.
Day 3 Activities
a. Daily Speed Sounds lesson e. Questions to read and
answer
Work through all the activities listed
in this timetable. See guidance below
for activities in bold. See pp.142–143
for other activities.
b. Partner practice – Speed
Words
f. Spell check
c. Questions to talk about g. Spell test
d. Third read – Students h. Grammar practice
Questions to talk about
Read the questions below. For each question, direct the students to the correct section to
find the answer. Ask them to TTYP to respond using Fastest Finger where they find the
answer in the text or Have a Think to justify their answer/opinion. Then take feedback.
Have a Think What did Jack think about mobile phones and their users at the start of
the story? (Section 1)
Fastest Finger Who did Gopal text and why? (Section 2)
Have a Think Why did Jack’s mum say he couldn’t have a phone? (Sections 5 and 6)
Fastest Finger How did Jack buy his new phone? (Section 7)
Read with Expression How did Mum feel about the phone once Jack had one? (she liked it, was
enthusiastic, wanted to make use of it) Read aloud Section 9, saying
Mum’s words with suitable feeling.
Read with Expression Was Jack pleased with his new phone? (He was fed up/annoyed with
his Mum calling him, asking him to do things. He was more interested
in Gopal’s new tablet.) Read Section 10 aloud, showing Jack’s feelings
towards the phone and Gopal’s new tablet.
Grammar practice
1. Remind students that we sometimes use an apostrophe to show that some letters are missing.
2. Tell partners to look at Section 1 of the main text in their Module on p.4 and play ‘Fastest Finger’
to find three words that use apostrophes to show that letters are missing. (it’s, doesn’t, aren’t)
Anthology text
At the end of the lesson, ask students to turn to p.18 in their Anthology.
1. Introduce them to the text ‘The phone zone’. Ask them to TTYP to talk about what they like
or dislike about mobile phones, and why.
2. Read the introduction, drawing the students into the text so they will be keen to read the
rest independently.
