Literacy Activities (Lower Ability)

There are three resources included which have been created for a lower ability KS3 group.

All of the card sorts have a card with the key word on, definition, example and an extension card for students to write an example themselves.

Key Word Card Sort 1 - Adjective, capital letters, comma, exclamation mark, full stop, paragraphs, question mark and speech mark.

Key Word Card Sort 2 - Adjective, noun, verb, alliteration, simile, metaphor, explicit meaning, implicit meaning and structure.

Pass The Parcel Literacy Activity - You will need to have a pass the parcel for this activity. You could display pictures on a screen if you didn’t have a parcel. The activity requires students to provide a noun, verb, adjective and simile for each prize they get once the parcel has been opened. Students then have space to write a sentence using all of this information.
