For classrooms who are familiar with the Pie Corbett ‘story mountain’, this resource focuses on the ‘problem’ section of a creative story. This Powerpoint teaches children about three specific types of problem that they can use in their story: 1 versus 2: In at number 1 is the “1 versus 2” problem type. A “1 versus 2” problem is when one character creates a problem for another character. Perhaps one character hurts another character’s feelings or does something deliberately to upset the other. Arguing with your shadow: This type of problem is when the main character creates a problem for themselves. They may make a wrong or bad decision, or do something that affects their chances of success. Can’t be helped!: Last but not least, this type of problem occurs when an uncontrollable factor causes a problem for the characters in the story. A thunder storm ruining a picnic, a broken car resulting in a family party being missed or a nasty bug putting a dampener on a holiday – no one is to blame for this type of problem. The Powerpoint also includes: illustrations from popular children’s films, where children need to identify the type of problem that takes place an activity ideal for independent or group work, where children need to use pictures to discuss or write what is happening, followed by a problem based on one of the strategies they have learned.

This handy resources (pun intended) is a great way to teach reading strategies to your pupils. Useful to have at hand (I can’t stop) during reading time, where you can choose one strategy to focus on, Strategies included: 1.”Robot talk” the tricky word – encourages speedy readers to slow down and chunk up tricky words.( It’s also quite amusing to have a classroom full of Daleks). 2.”Look at the picture for clues” – don’t rely on others to tell you the answer! This is a good strategy for encouraging independent reading. 3.”Slowly stretch out the tricky word” – again, encourages speedy readers to really slow down. Can also help teachers see if there are any phonics issues. 4.”Skip the word and try again at the end of the sentence” – it’s ok not to get it first time! Sometimes by reading to the end of the sentence, children will be able to have a solid guess at the meaning of the word based on the context of the story. “Does the word make sense?” – stop for breath. Take a minute. Does that word fit into the sentence/story?

Guess my monster is an ideal game for children who need to build up a repertoire of adjectives and descriptive language. Ideal for children with English as an additional language. Rules of the game: Player 1 chooses a card and hides it from Player 2 (nobody likes a cheater!) Player 1 then gives 3 clues to Player 2, describing their monster in detail. (Although this is meant to be a game, it is of course “organised fun” and strict rules apply. It is not ok to say for example, “My monster has eyes”. No. The name of the game is to describe, so no description in the clue = lose a turn!) After 3 clues have been given, Player 1’s partner can finally take a guess as to which monster is being described.(As the clues are being given, crosses can be put through the monsters who are definitely not being described, according to the clues given) The players swap over and the fun continues!
