Literacy And Numeracy

[Guest]

Just wondered if anyone else runs their mornings like this....

 

 

We do Literacy and Numeracy every morning, so right up until lunch time this is our focus everyday. There is no legal requirement for this to be the case as far as I am aware, wondered if anyone can shed any light on it??

 

Anyone think this is too much Lit and Num?

Are ypou in reception? I am and I do phonics and Psrn every morning, then straight after lunch for 15mins KUW input, music or CD. Hard to fit so much in in a day isnt it?

I would find that a bit much to be honest, especially at this time of the year ! Do you mean you are working with a group doing literacy and maths whilst the others are CI or that they are all doing just literacy or numeracy activities all morning ?

The daily/weekly recommendations are 1 x guided read or write per week, daily phonics (20 mins) daily shared write and daily mental maths! Everything else is how you decide to implement it.

Thanks for that info Vicki, where did you get it from? Would be interested to read as have had nothing on what is recommended.

In Foundation 2 we do Letters and Sounds on four mornings about 9.40am for about 10-15 minutes at the moment. Then they do Number Time before lunch for about 10-15 minutes as well.
