Content will include aspects of all the UK curricula, with references indicating which topics occur in which documentation.

Each unit will comprise of: -a piece of information text aimed at 6 year olds, with key vocabulary highlighted -two comprehension activites based on the text (one activity differentiated at two levels) -one or more fun activites to reinforce the key words, such as completing a word search or labelling a diagram.
