Space Town Literacy Programme

The Space Town Literacy Programme for KS1 (Space Town) is an enhanced version of the Primary Literacy Programme - Reading and Writing (PLP-R/W).
It includes additional aspects such as e-learning, self-directed learning and a self-evaluation tool for schools.
The teaching of reading has been enhanced through the earlier introduction of guided reading and phonics strategies such as blending and encoding in P1. 

 

Space Town provides students with the opportunity to develop the ability to transfer their knowledge to new situations.
In this programme, communicative language learning is the main focus, where the four skills are taught interactively and real-life situations are experienced in the classroom.


 

Space Town Go!

Space Town Go! is a web-based resource platform designed to support the implementation of the Space Town Literacy Programme for KS1 (Space Town), and its predecessor, Primary Literacy Programme – Reading and Writing for KS1 (PLP-R/W).
It can also be used to support school-based English Language curriculum development and home learning.

 

As a developmental literacy resource, Space Town Go! supports early readers with over 200 storybooks and sound books for them to read, listen to and record themselves reading.
Also included in Space Town Go! are interactive games that support the learning and teaching of high frequency and content words, and phonics from every Space Town unit.
Both analytic and synthetic phonics are included in Space Town Go! and are aligned with the sequence of teaching, thus helping students develop their phonemic awareness skills at both word and sound levels.
