The children use the treasure chest and bin to read and sort words into real and nonsense words.

These have been used in Year 1. The children get into pairs. Partner 1 is the teacher and points to the word, Partner 2 reads the word. They then swap over so that they both get to read all of the words. It is the ‘teachers’ job to support their partner to self correct the words. Once complete the children put sound buttons on the words and then practise writing them on the back of the sheet.

I used these resources in Year 1 by setting up a crime scene in the classroom. I asked a family police officer to record a video, asking the children to help them with their investigation. The children then recorded their observations and drew the scene using the Crime Scene Investigation and then completed the suspect sheet. Also within this pack: *Official Police Report- children to pretend they are working for the police to write up about the incident. *Wanted poster template. *How to Catch a Porridge Thief- Instructional text. *Questions for Goldilocks. *Investigator Certificates I hope your children enjoy these resources as much as mine did!

Children get into partners. Partner 1 is the teacher and they point to the word, partner 2 sounds and blends the word. The 'teacher' listens out for mistakes and helps to correct. Then they swap over so that both children have read every word. Once complete, they put the sound buttons on.

Handouts for parents: *Maths and Literacy at home. *Phonics support booklet. *Maths support booklet.
