Our Year 6 units are shown below split into reading comprehension, spelling, handwriting and dictionary/thesaurus work . Each unit is designed to work alongside a writing unit, but they can be used as a ‘stand alone’ unit. The table below is aimed to give you a quick impression of the areas covered. Each unit contains between 15 and 18 lessons of half hour in duration. For greater detail click on the ‘Outcomes and NC Objectives’ buttons when available.
Units that are available will have an ‘Open’ button visible. Keep on checking in to check out our new units available.
