Pirate Vocab Activity for P levels /Stage 1 Wigit Symbols SEN MLD SLD

A straightforward symbol-supported activity to encourage independence in descriptive writing. Equally useful for foundation years and KS1 as it is for primary and secondary students with SEN. Made for teenagers with SLD who were studying Treasure Island. Great for students working alone, in groups or as a whole class.

This highly-scaffolded activity can be used alongside reading, sensory stories or drama activities that are focused on pirates. It introduces non-writers and early writers to a variety of vocabulary around the topic and encourages independence as students choose three words for each picture.
