Literacy Yearly Plan – 1st & 2nd Class Autism Class
This resource provides a full year of structured literacy planning tailored for an autism class at 1st and 2nd Class level. The plan is organised month-by-month with clear links to phonics/spelling patterns, vocabulary, oral language, comprehension, and writing activities, ensuring literacy learning is both structured and engaging.
The plan is designed to:
Support 1st & 2nd Class pupils working across a range of literacy levels.
Provide theme-based literacy activities that integrate with wider classroom topics.
Include phonics, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, oral language, and writing development.
Offer differentiated tasks and sensory-friendly strategies to meet the needs of all learners.
Plan for children who need curriculum access support, including minimally speaking children and AAC users, embedding communication opportunities into every theme.
Save teachers time with a ready-to-use framework that aligns with the Irish Primary Language Curriculum while leaving room for flexibility and child-led learning.
This yearly literacy plan ensures literacy learning is inclusive, structured, and adaptable, helping children develop communication, reading, and writing skills in a way that meets their individual needs.
