Option 1 Choice Board

Choice Boards are designed to enable students to consolidate learning at home. They can be shared with parents/carers for students to pick an activity to do every day during this unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. Activities do not need daily guidance but may require learning packages to be sent home.

Schools will need to:

Provide teacher and student access to Letterland Phonics Online. We've made it possible for schools to access this resource for free whilst they are closed due to COVID-19. Just apply as a school here and it will include access for teachers and students. It's very important that schools apply on behalf of parents/carers.
Share the Choice Board and resources below with parents. If parents have a reliable internet connection just share this web page https://www.letterland.com/option-1-choice-board. Otherwise, we recommend that you prepare learning packages to be sent home by downloading as many of the resources below as you can.
