Letters from the Lighthouse - Teacher Instructions - Worksheet

The provided teacher instructions outline a flexible approach for utilising a resource pack linked to the book "Letters from the Lighthouse". This pack is designed as a comprehensive collection of ideas and activities to enrich the reading experience and integrate it with other curriculum subjects. Teachers are encouraged to selectively choose activities that best cater to the unique needs of their class and align with the other subjects they are teaching. While the pack offers suggestions for each chapter of the book, it is adaptable for use with shorter excerpts, ensuring that the activities chosen are relevant to the specific passages being read.

The resource pack is structured to offer flexibility, allowing teachers to implement foundation subject ideas at different points in the book as they see fit. The key principle is to utilise the activities at the most appropriate time for the class's learning journey. Teachers are also invited to enhance the pack with their own creative ideas, tailoring the learning opportunities to the distinctive dynamics of their classroom. To further support the integration of the book with the curriculum, the pack includes a 'Reading Skills' (RS) sheet that correlates the activities with the English National Curriculum objectives. Additionally, the instructions reference the website for topic overviews related to geography and history, which can be paired with the book to create a thematic learning experience. For guidance on launching a class book, teachers are directed to consult additional resources provided.
