I will be sticking these into the back of the children’s books and ticking them off when completed. They could also be assigned to a child digitally to save on paper and needless touching of joint resources. Alternatively, these could be used holistically for an entire class, or for emerging, expected & exceeding groups. In each product (separated by year group), you get access to: PDF versions of the A4 tables National Curriculum strands are referenced for each expectation .docx Word Document versions of the A4 tables to edit to address particular needs or school-wide focuses 1 font to edit Word documents with
