These resources are intended to support children with the sequencing style questions encountered in the KS1 SATs tests. There are 6 original stories that the children read and then number the sentences to place them in the correct order. These questions are often ones that cause the children difficulty so these sheets will allow them to practice this skill in a fun way.

These activities are designed to provide evidence for Teacher Assessment of the KS1 Reading Curriculum. Resouces provide an activity for some objective on the Teacher Assessment Framework where evidence needs to be provided. These are Working At - 7 and Greater Depth 1, 2 and 3. There are 3 variations for each objective to enable a number of pieces of evidence to be collected. All are labelled to make record keeping easier. There is a record sheet which teachers can complete but also give a fun element for children to colour upon completion. These sheets provide a great evidence log for moderation and the children love working on their ‘log jobs’. All stories are original and feature situations that the children will be able to relate to, enabling them to successfully draw inferences from the text or predict what might happen next. These resources link perfectly with my TAF Evidence Sheets for KS1 Maths.

These grids enable children to practice the spelling of the common exception words required by the end of Year 2. There are 6 grids in total. The words have been grouped to reflect similar letter patterns or phonic sound. Word copies are included to enable editing of font to fit with schools handwriting policies. As well as the daily grids, a set of spelling lists is included to send home.

These activities are intended to be used as morning work. Children use mini-whiteboards or morning books to write words they find. Letters have to be touching on the grid to be used, either horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Bonus points can be given for the longest word. There are 7 grids included, one per week for a half term. Paper copies are also included if more long lasting evidence of the activity is required.

These activities are intended to be used as morning work. Children use mini-whiteboards or morning books to write words they find. Children make words using only the letters given. They can be stretched further by asking them to calculate the score generated for each word. In addition the letters can be rearranged to make a 9 letter word. Answers are included! Paper copies of each word are included for evidence if preferred.

This activity is intended to develop the children’s inference skills. The question is shown on the interactive whiteboard. Children are told to think of as many different reasons why the statement might have happened as they can. They write their ideas in full sentences on mini whiteboards or in their morning books. After 10 minutes the children feedback their ideas, the more creative the better!
