Planning: Meeting the Needs of All of Our Students
Planning Sheet
The planning sheet below represents the minimum amount of planning that I have found is needed to cover the needs of the student in each classroom.
Let’s Chat Unit (Updated October 2021)
The Let’s Chat Unit is 10 example weeks of planning around an example Australian Curriculum English unit for Foundation students. The planning covers emergent literacy instruction at different levels, and also conventional literacy instruction at Foundation level.
he unit has a focus on communication skills, such as greetings and expressive preferences. You can download a presentation that provides some more information about the unit below – and you can also download each week of planning.

Emergent Literacy Planning (Created April 2020)
Below are four weeks of example emergent literacy planning – really detailed planning in a way I wouldn’t normally do – but hopefully helpful. They are similar to some of the planning above – but in more detail for emergent students only.
