Get ready for kick off and prepare to meet all of your literacy goals with Project Football!

All Year 5 and particularly Year 6 teachers know about the pressure to help children deliver level 4 literacy. Many of the reluctant writers who could achieve 4c are passionate about football. Project Football could be the answer to their and your prayers, offering expert, tried and trusted techniques for teaching literacy, developed within the context of the beautiful game. For those not bitten by the football bug there are alternative options throughout. Written at level 4, Project Football is a fun and inspiring addition to your literacy teaching.

It’s a lesson of two halves!

This unique classroom resource contains twenty lesson plans, each structured like a football match with warm-up sessions, first half, a half-time pep talk followed by the second half and post-match analysis. For an hour, transform your classroom into Wembley stadium!

Each, detailed lesson plan includes:-

• Short, kinaesthetic, focussed tasks with instant feedback and praise,
• Speaking and listening exercises - children engage in talking and collaborative work before finally completing a writing task.
• key points from research in to boys’ writing in special notes for teachers
• Alternative tasks available throughout for those not interested in football
• Differentiated material for a wide ability range

Project Football is written by Heather Butler, a writer, literacy consultant and story writing workshop leader. She has a passion for helping children learn kinaesthetically and teaches 2 days a week with Angela Bray, an experienced year 6 teacher and literacy co-ordinator. Together they planned and delivered the lessons, evaluated and honed them. Project Football has since been tested extensively by Year 5 and Year 6 teachers in leafy-green, inner city, multi-cultural and rural settings with amazing results. Why not try it for yourself?
