Literacy Yearly Plan – 5th & 6th Class Autism Class
This resource provides a full year of structured literacy planning designed for an autism class at 5th and 6th Class level. Organised month-by-month, the plan includes clear links to spelling and grammar, comprehension, oral language, vocabulary, and extended writing tasks, supporting older pupils to engage with literacy in a structured and meaningful way.
The plan is designed to:
Support 5th & 6th Class pupils working across a broad range of literacy abilities.
Provide theme-based literacy activities that connect with wider curriculum topics.
Include spelling, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, oral language, and extended writing opportunities.
Offer differentiated tasks and sensory-friendly adaptations so all pupils can access literacy learning.
Plan for children requiring curriculum access support, including minimally speaking children and AAC users, embedding communication and engagement opportunities in every theme.
Save teachers valuable time with a ready-to-use framework aligned with the Irish Primary Language Curriculum, while leaving flexibility for child-led and interest-based learning.
This yearly literacy plan ensures that literacy learning is inclusive, adaptable, and purposeful, enabling every child to progress in reading, writing, and communication at their own pace.
