Activities in this teaching pack include a template to select and record a matching illustration and word label to name a special food that begins with one of the letters of the alphabet as preparation for producing dictionary entries about foods used by families to prepare different meals.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore the names of some of the different foods that begin with each of the letters of the alphabet.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to read and write dictionary entries to define topic and vocabulary words about types of food that families could buy when going shopping, build different words using vowel digraphs and write and punctuate simple sentences. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
