Suggested plan for all Prep teachers using SSP from Term 2.
Read when they first come in, from SSP book buckets or using the pre-loaded tablets. Ideally parents
stay for this.
Registration and daily routine – day of the week etc.
9.15
Visual prompts- duck hands, spelling lines, numbers
Letter formation- 5 or 6 letters of the 26 – using RWI phrases – in air, and then on board in front of
whiteboard (use letter formation video).
At their SSP Level
Sound Pics- say it, write it (using RWI phrase)
Sound Pic words – follow the sounds, say the word, write the word, underline the sound pics
Helpful Words – say it, draw a line through it (until they recognise them all- then we will also write
them- takes too long to write them initially, for Preps)
Sentences – scan and say.
(the above should take about 15 – 20 minutes)
Adult Directed – either teacher at front, or teacher supporting kids at each level.
Copy this word – show the sound pics
Spell this word (say it, duck hands, lines, numbers, choices – refer to clouds)
Hold a sentence (verbally only)
Critical thinking activity
(the above should take about 15 minutes)
Reading – paired, tagged etc.
(5 minutes)
It should now be around 10am
From 10 – 10.15 have a different activity each day – will discuss this with teachers- suggestions..
*Sentence construction (hold a sentence and write it, carry on with the sentence – eg The ant ...... an
image is on the card, copy the sentence and show the sound pics, find the missing word in the
sentence etc) So children have the card that relates to their level.
*Writing words using sound pics – helpful words, and at their level. We need them to quickly write
these words, with confidence.

*Sequence a story (putting images, images and sentences or just sentences into order)
*Focus on SSP spelling strategy. (say the word, duck hands, lines with numbers, make choices, check
it – does it look right?- find the card with the right word on it and change if necessary.)
*Recall – listen to story and recall facts, order etc – re tell verbally and teacher scribes.
10.15/ 10.20 Brain food.
10.30 Play based literacy activities- eg writing shopping lists for store...writing notes for loved
ones...emergent writing, free flowing....playing games (When I went to the shop) Post it notes on
forehead activity etc. We’ll create lots of boxes of games they choose from. If adults are there they
can help them get set up with Bingo, Snap etc.
Let them play selected games in tablets/ ipads eg the new Speech Sound Piano app (ipads)
Include musical activities.
Red alerts with SSP teacher for 20 minutes- SSP Orange (to re-wire their brains for phonemic
awareness).
All back for 10.50 – Silly Rhyme Time- Ill do this as daily videos, put on whiteboard. Ill get the Speech
Sound Frog to say silly rhymes with me.
11 – Break.

This means you have at least 300 readers on each tablet, following the explicit teaching order.
As new readers are added you just update.
Apps will be available for download to the tablet, and we just email you with updated info.
Even if this potentially costs $2500 per class, you don’t need to order hard copy readers, and
students can read as much as they want.
