CVC Read and Highlight

(0)
This resource contains 11 different CVC Read and Highlight no prep worksheets. These worksheets are a great way for students to work on their vocabulary, reading and attention to detail skills. Students simply read through the passage and use the box on the bottom to see what CVC words they need to find and highlight them. This is a great and different way to help students with their CVC/word recognition. It comes with instructions on the first page and all pages come as black and white for ink friendly printing. This is a no prep activity - just print and hand out! You can either use these as paper worksheets to hand out to students or you can laminate them so that they can be re-used throughout the year.

Halloween: Spelling and Handwriting Task Cards
TeachingAutismTeachingAutism

Halloween: Spelling and Handwriting Task Cards

(0)
This resource is a great way for your students to work on their spelling and handwriting skills, plus it's linked to the theme of Halloween. Each page comes with two task cards on it with the same image/vocabulary. One task card is for spelling or handwriting - it comes with a prompt above so students can either use the included letters to match them or they can write in the boxes underneath to work on their handwriting skills. The second task card on the page is for students to work on their handwriting by having a prompt underneath, this is where students will overwrite the word. The task cards come in b/w and col option for your preference. ♦ Task Card 1: Students have a picture, prompt and then cut out letters to match to the words or use the prompt above to work on their handwriting in the boxes below. ♦ Task Card 2: Students over write the Halloween word. This activity does require you to do a bit of cutting and laminating but it is well worth it and will be long-lasting and beneficial to your pupils. Cut out the task cards and laminate them as your 'base'. Then cut out the individual letters and laminate these. I recommend laminating as they will last longer but if you want to use as a cut/paste activity with your students these will also be great.
Florence Nightingale Simplified Story

Florence Nightingale Simplified Story

(0)
This simplified story is based on the story of Florence Nightingale. It includes 20 pages and the story has been simplified to be more engaging for students and easier for them to understand and follow the story of Florence Nightingale and everything that she achieved throughout her life. Each mini-page, is half an actual page size, meaning you cut each page in half. I recommend laminating each page individually and then binding together to make a book - it’ll also make it stronger and longer lasting for you. You can use this resource as a whole class story which you can read to your students, or print numerous copies and have them readily available for your students to read in your classroom library. Another great way to use this resource is to introduce the book page by page each day/week and put together as a sequencing activity into student’s literacy books so that you can discuss each page more in-depth and have your students work on their sequencing skills. This resource comes in colour/color or black and white option for your preference. It is also suitable for both UK and US readers i.e colour/color.
