cards are subtly numbered 1-6, each aligned to the NC expectations. Designed so teachers can ask children to focus on 1-2 sections of the guide or work through it all… dependent on the pupil/s, the time allocated to the task and the teacher focus.
Print and laminate for a handy classroom resource.
Sentence stems to support high quality conversations about writing - both for self assessment and peer assessment.
Print back to back and laminate for a key resource to have to hand in the classroom. These cards go with the other cards in the ‘talk like a …’ set
2 levels of complexity. Set and Set 2
4 different templates
Spelling ladders
Teachers/ children add key words they are mis-spelling onto their ladder. This could be a focus on HFW or MFW. The children use this as a mini support/ checklist until they can spell the word correctly and then tick it off/ cross it out. Once the ladder is complete, start a new one!
Just print and cut in half.
Spelling Challenge Cards Level 6-9
Level 6 and Level 7 = Y3/4 statutory words
Level 8 and Level 9 = Y5/6 statutory words
These follow on from the KS1 spelling bundle also in my TES store.
Each challenge card is split into bronze, silver and gold (these aren’t progressive, they just offer milestones) Children take the sheets home and practice the words. When they are confident they can spell them, the parents cut the relevant slip off the bottom and send it in to say they are ready to be tested! Teachers can test all/ a random sample of the words to validate.
Each level has bronze, silver and gold certs. Each time a child gets a cert, we offer 3 raffle tickets (in the bundle) and 2 house points (you can add your own rewards!). We will run a termly raffle to win £20!
Enlarge, laminate and add to/ near your English working wall/ reading display. Use an arrow/ peg to clip next to the skill you’re focusing on in reading that week so children are always clear on the skill they are working on.

The second features main character suggestions and people/ things they may meet on their travels…
Create for oracy or creative writing activities! Homework… activities for breaktimes… etc.
