Pack includes: Lego block display pack Lego Slow Writing word mat 10 x picture prompt sheets with examples to support less confident learners.

Have students reach in and select however many pieces they need (easy differentiation). They can then use the blocks to create a short creative writing piece, linked to your current theme, or use the picture prompts included for inspiration. Alternatively, you can laminate the brick cards and have children select a number from a bag/pack. A great resource for supply teachers or last minute lesson fillers!
