This is a complete lesson (PowerPoint Presentation) teaching the difference between when to use the quantifiers βmuchβ, βmanyβ and βlots ofβ/ βa lot ofβ. The PowerPoint also covers the difference between countable and uncountable nouns.
We use βmuchβ and βmanyβ to ask questions (e.g. How many apples is there? How much milk is there? and to make negative statements (e.g. There arenβt many apples. There isnβt much milk.) whereas we use βlots ofβ or βa lot ofβ to make positive statements (e.g. There are lots of apples. There is lots of milk.).
We use βmuchβ to ask questions and make negative statements about uncountable nouns. We use βmanyβ to ask questions and make negative statements about countable nouns.
We use βlots ofβ or βa lot ofβ to make positive statements about both countable and uncountable nouns.
Countable nouns are nouns that we make plural and that we can count where as uncountable nouns are nouns that we donβt make plural and which we measure instead of count.
This resource is a PowerPoint presentation which includes a full lessonβs worth of activities and teaching points for teaching children how to use much, many and lots of/ a lot of. The notes section also includes teaching tips, ideas and further explanations.
The presentation includes:
β Learning objective
β Three success criteria

A full lesson presentation teaching how to follow the subject-verb agreement rule to write in the present simple tense correctly.
The present simple tense is used to talk about our habits and routines and to make statements about general truths. When we use the present simple tense, we need to make sure our subjects and verbs agree with each other.
The subject of a sentence is the one that does the verb. If the subject is singular, we add an βsβ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense. If the subject is plural, we do not add an βsβ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense.
The lesson presentation (PowerPoint) includes:
β Learning objective
β Three success criteria
β Starter activity
β Review of relevant prior learning (identify the subjects & verbs activity)
β Teaching input information slides with examples
β Quick review/ mini plenary activity
β Whole class consolidation activities (whiteboard work)
β Group/ paired consolidation activities
β Differentiated independent task (three levels)
β Extension activity

Homophones Group A, Part 1: plane, meet, mail, heal, grown, fair, accept, affect, ball and berry
Homophones Group A, Part 2: plain, meat, male, heel, groan, fare, except, effect, bawl and bury
It is advisable to teach homophones separate from each other to avoid confusion (e.g. teach βmainβ on a different day to βmaneβ). This bundle contains two full lesson teaching the spellings of the homophones in group A; each lesson focuses on one half of all the pairs of homophones in group A.

A full lesson presentation (PowerPoint) teaching how to use the present continuous/ present progressive tense.
The present continuous tense is made up of the present tense form of the verb βto beβ (is, are or am) + the progressive/ continuous form of the verb (a verb with the -ing suffix). It is used to describe actions and events that are happening now. It can also be used to refer to future plans.
This lesson presentation on the present continuous tense includes:

β Three success criteria
β Starter activity
β Review of prior learning (examining the other tenses)
β Teaching input/ information slides (explaining how to identify and construct sentences in present continuous tense)
β Multiple differentiated group & paired activities (fill in the blanks, spot the mistakes, change the sentences to present continuous tense etc.)
β Differentiated independent activities
β Extension of learning and application challenges
β Writing tasks
β Plenary activity
The lesson covers the following:
Review of other tenses
Difference between βisβ, βareβ and βamβ (plural and singular subjects)
How to describe the actions of both plural and singular subjects in the present continuous tense
How to describe the actions of both regular and irregular plural subjects in the present continuous tense
How to describe the actions of both countable and uncountable nouns in the present continuous tense
How to describe the actions of collective nouns, exceptions and pronouns using the present continuous tense
Changing verbs into their progressive/ continuous form
Purposes of using the present continuous tense

This is the nineteenth lesson in this complete phonics course teaching children how to read and write! Focusing on the letter f, this lesson introduces the letter, the sound it makes and how to identify the initial, middle and end sound and letter of words. It is the nineteenth lesson of phase 2 phonics and includes all the information and activities you need to introduce this letter and the sound it makes.
In phase 2 of phonics, children meet the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that they make. They learn how to identify the initial, middle and end sound in CVC (consonant - vowel- consonant) words in preparation for learning how to segment and blend. From lesson 3, they start to decode words into the sounds they know in order to start reading as well as encode sounds into letters in order to begin writing. As they progrss through phase 2 of phonics, they will start writing simple sentences composed of phonetically decodable and high-frequency words.
These lessons are designed to teach children how to read and write by practising the skills of identifying, segmenting and blending. Each lesson includes all the information, games, videos and activities needed teach each phase 2 sound.

This is the second lesson in this complete phonics course teaching children how to read and write! Focusing on the letter a, this lesson introduces the letter, the sound it makes and how to identify the initial, middle and end sound and letter of words. It is the second lesson of phase 2 phonics and includes all the information and activities you need to introduce this letter and the sound it makes.
In phase 2 of phonics, children meet the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that they make. They learn how to identify the initial, middle and end sound in CVC (consonant - vowel- consonant) words in preparation for learning how to segment and blend. From lesson 3, they start to decode words into the sounds they know in order to start reading as well as encode sounds into letters in order to begin writing. As they progrss through phase 2 of phonics, they will start writing simple sentences composed of phonetically decodable and high-frequency words.
These lessons are designed to teach children how to read and write by practising the skills of identifying, segmenting and blending. Each lesson includes all the information, games, videos and activities needed teach each phase 2 sound.
