Literacy Yearly Plan – 3rd & 4th Class Autism Class
This resource provides a complete year of structured literacy planning designed for an autism class at 3rd and 4th Class level. The plan is organised month-by-month with clear links to spelling patterns, grammar, comprehension, vocabulary, oral language, and writing tasks, making literacy learning engaging, structured, and accessible.
The plan is designed to:
Support 3rd & 4th Class pupils working across a wide range of literacy abilities.
Provide theme-based literacy activities that connect meaningfully with classroom topics.
Include spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, oral language, grammar, and extended writing activities.
Offer differentiated approaches and sensory-friendly strategies to ensure all pupils can access learning.
Plan for children requiring curriculum access support, including minimally speaking children and AAC users, embedding communication and engagement opportunities throughout.
Save teachers planning time with a ready-to-use framework aligned with the Irish Primary Language Curriculum, while remaining flexible for child-led and interest-based learning.
This yearly literacy plan ensures that literacy learning is inclusive, purposeful, and adaptable, helping every child progress at their own pace in reading, writing, and communication.
