‘The Gradual Elephant’ Cross-Curricular Teaching Ideas and Resources

This resource is designed for use by teachers planning to adopt the animal adventure story ‘The Gradual Elephant’ by H.S. Toshack as a whole-class (or small group) teaching text. It can be used instead of, or alongside, the free, full and detailed set of literacy resources available at litworks.com/childrens.php (and elsewhere on TES Connect).

The series of three books (‘Paka Mdogo’, ‘The Gradual Elephant’ and ‘The Meerkat Wars’) and their accompanying teaching and learning materials are suitable across a wide KS2 ability range.
