We use VIPERS to teach reading skills in our school. I have created a reading progression document that has had real impact already and follows these skills and others Any questions Please Ask

I have been working on this for some time mapping out clear progression across the year groups. I used Pie Corbett grammar as an inspiration and I have also looked at individual writing genres and pieced them altogether for clear progression. Any Questions Please Ask

My class planned a story about a girl called Elizabeth, who travels back in time to Ancient Egypt, where she encounters a problem she must resolve. I have created a series of 5 plot points, each containing 3 learning chunks. I used the year 3.4 curriculum for the grammar features

This has an information sheet about Black Friday and 15 different questions for the children to answer. Some open and some closed.

This is an assessment sheet/checklist including success criteria with examples for descriptive writing. I have used this sheet with years 3-6

I created these checklist cards as English Coordinator to help embed grammar throughout the school. The children can use them to assess when they have done a piece of writing. I used both the national curriculum and Pie Corbett's progression in writing to put these together. They are very visual and give examples. This is the year 4 one. Had lots of good feedback from our school and cluster from children and staff. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds

I made this unit of work based on 'The Hand' by Guy de Maupassant. It is great to do a short narrative HORROR unit with years 5 and 6 and my children loved it. You can get loads of descriptive writing out of them. The unit lasts 2+ weeks. This pack includes complete planning, 8 notebook files, the full text for the children and an assessment checklist. Hope it's useful to others and can all be adapted as needed. I removed all the names etc from my planning. But I reckon year 5 , 6 and 7 teachers could do a lot with all this ENJOY!!

I made this sheet based on the EGYPTIANS topic. The children were to choose 1 activity a week to do at home. There are a range of activities from writing and maths to art and cookery. Lots of them encourage parental involvement. Suitable for KS2. I haveused this with Years 4, 5 and 6

This sheet has 2 levels There is a sale on and the children must work out the price of the electrical goods during the Black Friday Sale.
