Here you will find a great set of comprehension activities for young learners. Starting with photographs and illustrations 20 pages in total to download, to encourage children to look at detail in the pictures and prompt discussion.

A great tool to encourage information retrieval and confidence with ideas and imagination. Also included are 3 short comprehension activities, with short simple sentences, to not overwhelm new readers with difficult text and language. The comprehension is the key function of these activities, to develop tools to find and fetch information and understand what has been read. Putting children at the core of their learning…

These are great sheets which I have used with a range of learners, including learners with Special Educational Needs who were not able to write. They signed/verbalised their caption for an adult to write down word for word. A great assessment tool for all learners to show their level of understanding. Can also be used for children to write their own captions for EYFS, KS1 and KS2. A fabulous resource to inspire creative writing and thoughts.

These are a great bundle of resources, focusing on the sounds of CVC words. Find the initial sounds, the middle sounds and the end sounds, encouraging children to really listen to the sounds in the words. CVC read and copy supports reading and writing, sounding out and blending the word and forming letters to copy the word, looking and letter and word shapes. CVC sound and spell activity is an extension activity which encourages children to look at the picture and say what they can see, sounding out the word for spelling. A lovely selection of activities to support phonics, reading, writing, spelling, speaking and listening for EYFS, KS1 and learners with SEN.

This is a great bundle of comprehension activities for children who are not able to write legibly, but are able to read. In order to assess reading and comprehension skills we need to check their understanding. These activities are brilliant for doing just that. The activities encourage children read the story / instructions and then find the sentences/pictures to stick in the correct places to show the answers. Other sheets encourage looking at pictures or reading information to find clues and children can make a mark on the answers they believe to be correct. A great activity for children with Special Educational Needs who find writing a struggle.

Here we have a gorgeous Phase 2 phonics display package, includes all phase 2 sound/picture cards, the first sounds lettering and the upper and lower case classroom train with letters from A -Z.

EYFS, SEN & KS1 Read Trace Write sheets for Phonics Phase 2 CVC words. This is a lovely activity for children in their first stages of development in reading and writing. The activity includes clear, bright illustrations and photographs to support children in their recognition and sounding out of the words. The Phase 2 words shown on the cards should be sounded out and read first, then they can be traced by the learners. The letters and sounds which make up each word can be then written in the grids provided. Encourage children to also look at the shape of the words as this does help when writing the words themselves.

To celebrate Roald Dahl day, we want to give something to teachers and educators, who are preparing activities to mark the great achievements from the story telling genius. We have designed 16 fantastic activities, based around familiar stories. Some activities are suitable for EYFS/SEN and KS1 children, others are suitable for children in KS2. There are a range of exciting science experiments for a selection of characters from familiar stories, there is a crossword, a wordsearch and some revolting rhyme ideas. We have even included matching cards which can be played where two of the same need to be matched for younger learners, but then we have designed a higher level matching cards game, which takes a little more thinking about, matching 2 objects that relate to particular stories written by Roald Dahl. Some of these activities have been created to really test your knowledge of Roald Dahl stories. We hope you enjoy a little gift from us to you. Happy Roald Dahl Day :-)
