Oracy 'Talk like a ...' Cards 11 subject bundle

Contains Talk Like a… Reader Writer Mathematician Musician Good Citizen Theologist Artist Scientist Designer Geographer Historian The sentence stems on the cards support discussions and writing! There are 2-3 different levels depending on subject to allow for progression. We had these cards professionally printed at a local printers, double sided with a matt laminate to avoid any reflection of light and I would highly recommend this! If you need to keep costs lower, I would suggest buying some matt laminating pouches. The cards we use across the curriculum. Their use should be modelled and encouraged by staff. Encouarge children to challenge themselves to use a variation of stems to avoid repeating the same starters.

Spelling Ladder templates

(0)
4 different templates Spelling ladders Teachers/ children add key words they are mis-spelling onto their ladder. This could be a focus on HFW or MFW. The children use this as a mini support/ checklist until they can spell the word correctly and then tick it off/ cross it out. Once the ladder is complete, start a new one! Just print and cut in half.

A scaffold to support children looking at model texts and unpicking their key elements e.g. purpose, vocab/ phrases, writer techniques e.g. rhetorical questions, short sentences, personification, modal verbs, etc. This helps children build up an understanding of the intended impact of the text and how the writer creates this. From here children understand the ‘steps to success’ or ‘writer’s toolkit’ or whatever you may call it!
