Reading

 

Re-tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood – hopefully the children can re-tell the story themselves. 

Today we will talk about instructions.  The children will (hopefully) remember that instructions have ‘bossy verbs’ (imperative verbs) at the start of each instruction, e.g. to make a sandwich : 

1. Slice the bread
2. Spread the butter
3. Choose the jam 
4. Place the slices together 

 

Today we will talk about all the things LRRH does on her way to visit granny and imagine them as instructions, e.g. walk to granny, carry the basket, pick some flowers, knock on the door, etc.   

 

Once some instructions have been decided, reading them out and acting them out is always a fun way to understand instructions.
