These are great sheets which I have used with a range of learners, including learners with Special Educational Needs who were not able to write. They signed/verbalised their caption for an adult to write down word for word. A great assessment tool for all learners to show their level of understanding.

This is a lovely activity focusing on sports objects. Learners who are beginning with counting who find writing and forming shapes a challenge with Special Educational Needs, can access this resource to assess their knowledge and understanding. By counting the objects and recording using dots or dashes in the space provided, it allows learners to evidence and evaluate their answers. A great tool to promote independence and maths recording of children with difficulties in this area.
This is a great activity for SEN learners to build their knowledge of the things around them.

This is a great bundle of comprehension activities for children who are not able to write legibly, but are able to read. In order to assess reading and comprehension skills we need to check their understanding. These activities are brilliant for doing just that. The activities encourage children read the story / instructions and then find the sentences/pictures to stick in the correct places to show the answers. Other sheets encourage looking at pictures or reading information to find clues and children can make a mark on the answers they believe to be correct.
A great activity for children with Special Educational Needs who find writing a struggle.
This is a great activity to do with learners on their return from the summer holidays, when starting in a new class. It is also a great speaking and listening activity.

This is a great selection of resources to support learners in KS1 with comprehension. Focusing on the topic of Traditional Tales, this collection has a story of Ben and the Sunflower, this is a different take on the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Children can watch the story on a powerpoint presentation, because this is so visual it helps them to relate to the story and discussions can be had whilst reading the story to a group of children. There are different levels of comprehensions available to download in this pack, which allow children to answer questions all about the story they have just observed. Each comprehension is designed to suit the different levels and needs of children so there are 3 to choose from and a story sequencing activity. Other traditional story powerpoints and comprehensions (with a difference) are available to download separately from TES and from our website applefortheteacher.co.uk.

The maths guide contains an arithmetic assessment, a reasoning assessment and a times tables game. All of these have been created to give parents a good idea of what their children will be doing in their SATs tests, as well as giving them advice and knowledge of what they can do to help them revise or learn through games. A great resource which we are sure parents would find extremely useful. Children are at the very centre of everything we do…
