These 12 sheets offer English work with a Christmas theme for Primary School children and those with Special Needs. 4 of the sheets deal with rhyming words. The other 8 focus on the morphological principles of word construction, e.g. plurals with -s and -ies, past tense with -ed and the past tense of common irregular verbs. The sheets are clearly set out and can be worked on independently, requiring little teacher intervention: perfect for this busy season. They are also useful to send home for the holidays.

The 4 Read, Find, Write books are ideal for the crucial stage when children start to segment and blend words and learn high-frequency words. Book 3 builds on the previous 2 books and introduces more common words. The sheets have been successfully used with KS1 and 2 children, who really enjoyed using them. The graded books are suitable for all beginner readers. The straightforward layout and slow, steady progression make the books particularly suitable for children struggling with literacy who can use the sheets independently. This series fits in well with ‘Letters and Sounds’: the 4 books cover the 100 first words. Each book includes dictation and record/assessment sheets. 3 other books available.
