This resource is an enjoyable way to tackle preparation for the phonics screening. It can be used in class or sent home for homework. -The first activity requires pupils to read gobbledygook (Pseudo) sentences. -The second activity allows pupils to write their own gobbledygook sentences for others to read. -There are also 30 alien cards (with alien picture and pseudo word) for pupils to play memory or snap with (fun to send home to get parents involved). These can be laminated to use again next year! -There are also 12 blank cards so pupils can design their own alien and write their own pseudo words to include in the games. Pupils have lots of fun doing this! -Also included is a 'real or rubbish' word game, where pupils need to sort real words from the fake words. If you do have any questions or need any support, please send me a message. *My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you!*

Slightly different pages for children to make a book, we are reading Elephant and Bad Baby - now the children are going to create their own book with a similar story. So we have photocopied these pages (double-sided) so children can use as many or as few as you wish. At end of lesson children created a really attractive, eye-catching front cover and wrote a blurb. May take several lessons. Can be used for a lot of other subjects. Hoping it saves you some time.

Various simple scaffolds that can be used for creating leaflets or writing a non-fiction report.

I created a surgey role-play area within my classroom and linked it with Literacy. The children can dress as a doctor or nurse and then 'mend' the sentences. We have a big box with all of the 'poorly' sentences in, children pick one out and write the sentence on the sheet correcting VCOP. Some sentences for BA, some for A and some for AA.

Linked to our topic on Bob Marley, children to fill in speech bubbles of something he may have said at that time. If you're looking at someone else, just change the pictures.
