Description

Our Daily Literacy Review Slides are a dynamic and effective tool for enhancing memory, retention, and learning. By incorporating principles of spaced practice, interleaved practice, and retrieval practice, these daily reviews offer a comprehensive approach to reinforcing previously taught literacy content. Great as practice for the Common Assessment Activities (CAA’s).

A great companion to your structured literacy programme. Aligns with the refreshed New Zealand English curriculum for year 9.

These slides are editable so you can easily change to US spelling, if required.

We have designed our daily literacy review slides:

For use with your whole class (explicit instruction teaching model).
As PowerPoint presentations (these can be used in Google slides, too) featuring a range of literacy skills.
For short (10-15 minutes) regular sessions – we provide nine weeks of four short and sharp sessions a week. We recommend using these at the beginning of your literacy block.
With a wide selection of skills included in a randomised order.
To have a quick pace to keep engagement
With variety front and centre. Topics are removed and brought back in regularly.

Our activities directly target the skills students need to pass the CAA’s,

Connotation (Shades of Meaning): This helps students identify how specific word choices create distinct tones, moods, and bias – a key skill required in all reading assessment texts.
Compound and Complex Sentences (Syntax): Practicing these sentence types directly prepares students for the specific multiple-choice questions in the Writing CAAs, where they must identify grammatically correct sentence structure.
Metaphors and Idioms (Figurative Language): The idiom activities trains students to recognise the difference between literal and figurative meaning.
Colons and Direct Speech (Punctuation): These activities mirror specific questions in the Writing CAAs, requiring students to demonstrate precise punctuation placement (e.g., placing punctuation inside quotation marks or using a colon for explanation).
