Two A4 ‘Check Up’ Forms for a doctors role play, featuring Writing and Maths opportunities, as well as a Prescription form for children to fill out independently.

A washing machine front dial for supporting reading and mathematical development in the Early Years. Numbered to 9 with simple symbols and words. Also included are washing instructions - simple sentences to display in the home corner.

A set of cockpit controls for use in an airport/aeroplane role play, to support Reading and Mathematical development through purposeful play. Includes speed controls (numbers to 10), position display, sentences to read (e.g. turn on the seatbelt sign), cockpit photograph, world map and flight speed dial.

Shopping lists to display in the Home Corner. Includes versions with and without capital letters for differentiation, and a blank template for children to complete themselves. Lists are numbered 1-7 to support mathematical development, and visual photo cues are alongside words to support reading.

Differentiated ‘To do lists’ for display in the Home Corner, to support early reading, writing and number development. Includes a simple word version, a simple sentence verison and a blank template for children to fill in themselves. Lists are numbered 1-5.

A set of photo display posters for the Home Corner, labelled to support early reading development. Includes rooms of the house (kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, garden) and different types of houses (flats, houseboat, house).

Five A4 posters for display in an airport or travel agent role play station, to support reading opportunities during purposeful play. Questions include 'Where do you want to go?; and ‘What will you pack in your bag?’ amongst others.

A one page Reading Record for Reception aged pupils, featuring the ‘Development Matters’ reading statements for 30-50 months, 40-60 months and the Early Learning Goal. There is space for teacher comments and logging the dates and books read each week. In my Reception class we have a reading folder for the whole class. Every child gets one of these sheets either half-termly or termly, to document their progression and to support assessment. Practitioners write comments by the side and date when steps are achieved. Having the Development Matters statements easily to hand helps prompt practitioners to further children’s learning and plan for their ‘next steps’.

A visual playdough recipe and separate ingredients sheet with simple photographs for each step. Designed to enable children to follow the recipe independently.

Boarding passes for use in an airport role play. A reading/writing opportunity to support purposeful role play. Also features a clock for children to draw the hands on to support early mathematical development.

An in-flight entertainment TV screen for display in an airport/aeroplane role play. Great to stick to the back of chairs in an aeroplane role play to give children a realistic in-flight experience and an opportunity to develop their reading skills.

A selection of 20 different word cards, designed to support early reading of Phase 2 CVC words. Letters are laid along a ‘trail’, with the full word blended together at the end. We have found these incredibly useful as a phonics intervention activity. We encourage children to use their finger to trace the trail and blend the sounds together as they are reading. They are also great laminated for display, or as a reading activity that children can access independently in the book corner. Words included: tap, sit, pan, pig, mop, cat, map, cot, pen, mug, bag, hat, dog, fox, ten, jam, log, red, van, fish.

An A-Z sound mat to support early writing development. Each sound features a letter formation picture prompt, using photo-realistic images instead of clipart - to support younger pupils, EAL and SEN learners who benefit more from real-life imagery.

These A-Z display posters feature letter formation rhymes and use photo-realistic images for each sound instead of clipart - to support younger pupils, EAL and SEN learners who benefit more from real-life imagery. Each sound is on its own A4 sheet.

These Powerpoint files contain videos for each letter in the alphabet, modelling how to form those letters correctly. You will receive two Powerpoint files - one where each letter is modelled by a real hand, handwriting, and the other where the letter formation is animated. We have found these videos incredibly useful within both Phonics and Handwriting sessions, as they allow students to view a continuous loop of correct letter formation when practising themselves. You may either use the Powerpoints as standalone sessions - viewed in Slideshow mode, the first slide allows you to click on which letter you would like to practise, and you are then taken to the slide for that letter where the video is looped for pupils to copy. Alternatively, if teaching a specific letter in a Phonics session, you could add the video file to your own Powerpoint and play the formation as and when is appropriate for your class. Please note that both Powerpoints contain two versions for the letters ‘k’ and ‘f’ - looped and unlooped/straight and curved. Simply move forward to the next slide to use the one relevant to your setting.
