LO1: Use understanding of the concepts of initial capitalisation, a full stop and that capital letters are used for places, names and the personal pronoun I, to follow texts and extract meaning. Learners are likely to be following simple narratives or descriptions and recognising key steps, stages or basic chronology. Texts should be approximately 50 words. Sentences should not be compound and will normally be in the present tense, with a limited requirement for de-coding.
LO2: Learners should consider a range of different types of text, relevant to their daily living (e.g. a menu, a bus pass, a course leaflet).
