This is not a full teaching guide!
It is only the hand out material, games, and interactive content related to the LOTE Volume 1 teaching guide sold seperately through Bilby Publishing
The original folder version of this stage was first written in 2009 and was designed to be for K to grade 2 children in a far more cassual Choose-Your_Own adventure style than the National Curriculum now expects.
This folders handouts, games and interactive materials added in 2023-24 are presented in teaching order, rather than topic order as it was in the printed folder.
Handouts etc not in the folder are labled new since publication and online only for online games and video based songs and stories
This curriculum is being re-written Sept-Oct 2026 to incorporate many more visual materials (videos of stories and songs etc), and bring the material in line with the National Curriculum.
It will be only Grade 1 and 2, with a new K curriculum guide already completed and going to print.
