Adapting and using stories in PLL - Birmingham Primary Language Conference #4
Sophie Bregent-Kight,
She began by taking us through some reasons for using stories in PLL, linking it to the KS2 Framework for ALL year groups. There seems to be a concern that stories area great fro Year 3 but not for Year 5 and definitely not for Year 6. I agree with Sophie's point that stories aren’t just for little kids – they can be used for all ages; it is what you do with them that matters.
There's also Herefordshire and Stoke .

Sophie then went on to show us an example of how a story can be adapted and used for a whole unit of work.
