In this unit children learn to use a word processor to assemble text held in a word bank and start to develop familiarity with the computer keyboard.
Children will discuss the words they see around them and will understand that words convey information. They will use this knowledge to communicate ideas using ICT.
This unit could be taught in reception.
Children will be able to apply what they have learnt in this unit when writing short reports, lists and recipes.

Northumberland Resources
The following activities are based on big books studied in the Literacy Hour in Year 1.
For each text, a series of three Pages templates was created.
Children can carry out simple labelling tasks by selecting words from the word bank and can listen to words by clicking on them.  The third activity for each text involves the children entering their own text.
