Small group targeted ‘basic skills’ work to supplement, pre teach and repeat some whole class learning (e.g. phonics, fine motor groups).

Resources to support literacy skills for individuals/small groups (e.g. reading/spelling squares, recording software – iPads, sound buttons).

Tools such as Elkan's Early Language Builders and Language Builders, WellComm Big Book of Ideas, T Kit  books to support language for literacy may be helpful for individuals/small groups.
