Hello! Thanks for viewing my shop. I've been teaching now for over 10 years and was a teaching assistant before that. I'm currently teaching Year 3/4 but have taught in EYFS, Year 1 and 2, & Yr 6. I've worn many hats during my teaching career and I'm now deputy head of a small but ever growing successful first school!
I love creating resources that can be used to capture and engage the children in my class that allow them to really enjoy their learning.Please get in touch and leave feedback!

This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds.
To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds.
You could use two boards or a die up to 3.
I hope that your class enjoys playing these games.
Many thanks for viewing.
This game was loved by my mixed R/1 class so much that I created a 4 player A3 sheet version. It promotes reading and sharing.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 game boards (20 boards in all).
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. Boards contain a mixture of nonsense/alien words and real.
The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. They don’t move if they can’t. The other pupils really enjoy being the ref and check their friends learning. To make it a longer game use a die just up to 3.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
You could simply use this to time your children on how fast they can read the words.
To extend game just overlap the game boards and make the track longer.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great when doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes 5 game boards and the sounds au, oi, ear /ur pronunciation of ear, ar and ea.
There is a mixture of nonsense and real words on each board.
For best results print A3!
I have asked children to select their playing piece from a basket of cars and used a large foam die! just to add a twist and gimmick to it.
I have used these with a class of 20 plus but found they are great for use in interventions and 1:2:1 teaching.
Each board takes roughly 20 mins to play with 3 players.
In the past I’ve held small competitions to see who won overall.
Hope your class love this game!
Thanks
These Sight Word Fluency Sentence flash cards are a FAB way for your pupils to become confident and fluent readers!
Learning to read and spell the common exception words can be a tricky task for most Year 2 children.
I send this resource to parents on a key ring for children to learn at home.
I also use them in school during Guided Reading sessions and on my IWB to display to the whole class.
There are 64 flash cards in total.
I hope you find this resource useful.
Attached is an editable version to use within your own class and not for re-sale.
Many thanks

Hi,
This resource includes a smart board and powerpoint presentation of poetry activities and ideas.
The smart board includes hyperlinks to help with moving through the slides.
Each slide is presented in a way that is friendly and bright to capture your pupils imaginations and attention!
There are 37 slides.Many including a poetry idea/activity.
I am a big believer in deepening my pupil’s vocabulary and hope that each slide achieves the same with your own class. I have placed an emphasis on vocab and have used this as discussion points.
I hope that you find this resource useful and that your children’s writing shines!
Thanks
