A variety of mock phonics check words to practise on

I’ve collected together all the materials used for all the past phonics screening checks - 2012 being the first year it was implemented. I thought I would upload them to save others to trouble. Please see this link for mock paper materials: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Mock-phonics-screening-check-6453074/

A variety real and alien words I've used with my class. Laminate and cut out. Children to sort words, add sound buttons to words or find the real words to use in a sentence.

I’ve also included posters and mini versions of them for children’s books.

Included - Year 2 to Year 6 ambitious word coverage week by week (138 per year group over the year, or 3/4 a week) - Matching PPT for each year group - Matching printable resource for each year groups (in Publisher and PDF form)

I've typed up a variety of simple sentences without full stops. There is then a range of connective cards. The children pick a sentence and a connective and have to extend the sentence with it.

I use these in my Year 1 class. I stick them onto card (colour coded to their groups) and write on individual targets. The children have them on their tables during Big Write and at the end of the session they show me their work and together we read back the target and decide if they get a 'tick&'. If they achieve 5 tick they get a class reward, have achieved their target and I stick another target over it - just a tab at the top so you can still see their previous targets. Ofsted love them.

Hi there, I've included 2 weeks of planning and most of the resources for documentary texts. We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat. These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar. Hope it helps :)

Hi there, I thought I'd update a set of book labels I made for our school to keep consistency. Each class has an animal name and picture as you will see, each of these is easily changed. We print these onto labels (standard 4 to one A4 sheet) to make it easier to stick onto books. There are 4 boxes in the bottom left, we use these to colour code books and identify for Pupil Premium, SEN, EAL and slow movers. This makes it easier for books scrutiny's but also mean the children won't know what they mean. Hope it helps somebody looking for a whole school theme!

I use this as warm ups or when I have a free 5 minutes. I get the children to self-mark, create their own and then set their friends challenges. Great for recapping key skills regularly without additional work load.

This planning has been produced primarily for my own personal use (so there will be mistakes) and I’ll be using it in the classroom myself in future. Each week of Shared Reading planning includes: planning document PPT with the shared reading text/to share whole class shared reading questions ready to print shared reading text ready to print. The way we do shared reading is through one text which ALL children share and engage with. It’s the same text throughout the week. Sometimes the same story follows on for a few weeks/half term but over the year there is a variety of texts. We spend the first 15 minutes on the No Nonsense spelling scheme which is separate to this plan but your school might be interested in using. Skill focuses over the week Monday - vocabulary, word building, retrieval and recording Tuesday - inference Wednesday - Summarising Thursday - Explain & justify / or author’s choices Hope you find it useful!

I use two sound strips to support my Year 1 class in their writing at their tables - I borrowed these from the school I did my training placement at, so I cannot take credit for them! The first contains all the sounds your class need to phonetically attempt any word. The second sound strip colour groups different ways to make the same sound. I have also included the word doc I use to assess which sounds the children can read and write. These assessments help inform my teaching in the lead up to the phonics screening test.

Hi there, I've included 2 weeks of planning and the PPT with most of the texts we used on it.

I've uploaded 8 shared reading texts (from the same book - The alchemist) and comprehension questions to match. We've been using these in a Year 3 class (1 text over 2 days. Day 1 acting it out and focusing on new vocab, day 2 on the questions) as we're having a big push on vocabulary given the area we work in. However, I shared these with a Year 6 teacher and they've also used them 1 per session with their class and with greater independence. These are seriously challenging texts and will get you thinking too! - the more challenging vocab is highlighted in red. - some of the texts have a warm up in purple above the text. - I've also put how I want them to begin answering the questions in blue for support (seeing as I used it in Y3 ) This is taken from the first 2 chapters of the book and we are continuing to use this text next half term so will upload more then. I've used PIRA stem question starts for the comprehension questions (given it's a tricky text, there may be one than 1 answer or will depend on how the children explain their answers) Hope these help!
