Library challenges (could be a display or for a lesson).

(0)
This is a set of 12 different challenges which ask the children to locate a book in the library based on a certain criteria. Great as a display or can be used as a lesson to help the children fully explore the books on offer. I have used this on a visit to a local library and in our school library. Both have worked great. If needed, children can record the name and author of the book they have found onto the back of each card and even draw a sketch of the book.
Charlie and the chocolate factory themed guided reading/comprehension/shared reading game activity.

Charlie and the chocolate factory themed guided reading/comprehension/shared reading game activity.

(0)
This is a board game using the first few paragraphs of the scene in which Charlie and the guests enter the chocolate factory for the first time and see the chocolate river. The children roll a dice and move counters around the board. If they get a question correct, they may remain on the square. If their partner disagrees and can prove it they go back to the previous square. An engaging way to explore guided reading skills.

Comprehension designed to be used with a lower ability year 5 class, but could easily be adapted for all of KS2. Made to raise awareness of nits as an issue and how to get rid of them properly.

Fantastic shared/guided reading/comprehension game.

(0)
This is an excellent way to engage children in a reading/comprehension lesson. Each child has one of each card (can be laminated back to back to use again and again). The teacher (or another child) will make a claim about the text. For example: In this chapter, Harry and Ron dislike each other. The children must then take a minute to decide if this is true or not. If it IS true, the children will hold up their cards with the agreement side showing. If it IS NOT true, they will show the objection side. The teacher will then select a child at random (could use random name generator or lollipop sticks with names on etc.) to discuss which card they are showing and why. Opens up a great discussion as children will often disagree and can they debate their suggestions. Make it very clear to the children from the beginning that your decision MUST be backed up by evidence from the text and cannot be speculation. This has had great feedback in observations etc.
Four Activities for Phonics - OR

Four Activities for Phonics - OR

(0)
A series of phonic resources which I use to teach each sound across a week. This week is the ‘OR’ sound. Although the template could be easily adapted to suit any sound. Also a great resource for interventions to support the main teaching. Activity 1: Children to read the words in the table and circle the ones which have a ‘OR’ sound. During this time the teacher will circulate to hear blending and support as needed. Activity 2: Children to read the words in the list. Teacher will then call out some ‘OR’ words and children to segment into the boxes below e.g. sore s-or-e. Activity 3: Children to read the sentences. Teacher to circulate and hear reading, support as necessary. Children again to practice writing ‘OR’ words using segmenting. Activity 4: Children to read the questions and answer ‘yes or no’ to each one. Children will then write basic sentences of their own using ‘OR’ words e.g. I like chips. Blank lines have the brave and scared monkey from kinetic letters, however this can be removed if not using.

Cat In The Hat Comprehension

(0)
This is an extract from the cat in the hat with 7 comprehension questions including literal retrieval, inference, multiple choice and reasoning. I am using this for a lower ability intervention group, however it would suit any KS1 group or lower ability KS2 group. I have included a title and image too.
Religions Of The World Sorting Activity (sort religious objects and symbols by religion)

Religions Of The World Sorting Activity (sort religious objects and symbols by religion)

(0)
This resource helps children understand the different symbols and objects of 6 different religions (buddhism, hinduism, islam, christianity, sikhism, judaism). The idea is to sort the objects into the different religions by cutting them out and creating 6 posters - one for each religion. It is a great activity for children to work together in groups or can be done independently. Children will have 6 objects from each religion and each object contains a brief, child friendly description to explain what the item is (without giving away which religion it belongs to!) A perfect activity for all of Key Stage 2 although would also be great for upper KS1 or Lower KS3 depending on the children. **ANSWERS INCLUDED ** *This would also be perfect for a comprehension activity in shared reading or literacy lessons as the children would have to read each sentence and using inference to decide where it belongs. *

Spelling Homework (Year 1 and 2 Spelling List) Look, Cover, Write, Check

(0)
I have divided the year 1 and 2 spelling lists into 5 weekly spellings on a ‘Look, Cover, Write, Check’ style format. All that would need updating is the dates for your personal use. This is a total of 16 weeks worth of spellings. Please note: I have discounted some spellings which were overly repetitive in order to fit them all into weekly slots, for example cold, gold, told, hold.
