Set up the activity by linking it to previous work that you have done. Make sure that it is something that the children can do orally. Model the activity by showing how you can read invisible writing. For example, if you have been working on a traditional story you could introduce a letter from Goldilocks to the three bears. Show the envelope and get out a folded piece of blank paper and then say that it is written in invisible ink, but that if you think really hard you can read it. You then invent and read out a short letter as Goldilocks would have written it.

After reading them out to each other, each child sits down to write over the invisible words and produce a final written letter. The children will be asked to do this in pairs with one child reading their invisible letter to the other and then swapping over. The children need to be made aware that after reading the invisible letter to each other they will have to go over the invisible writing i.e. they will have to write the letter. This should prevent them from ‘reading’ out too much. Each child should produce a written piece. Whilst the children will be working as pairs to read out their letters to each other, each child’s final letter should be different from their partner’s.

Use snowballing or rainbowing technique to organise children into groups to share their ideas.
