A much shorter story that can be read in 10-15 minutes- with pictures. Or over a course of days broken down into smaller chunks. I made this because A Christmas Carol is a great story to read to children around the Christmas season to reinforce messages about kindess and empathy. There are reading comprehension questions to accompany the story, segmented to align with reading the book a few pages at a time. The questions are a mixture of retrieval, inference and word choice. There are also some worksheets attached to the story I have re-written. There are character analysis of Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit, a comparison between Bob Cratchit’s Chirstmas and Scrooge’s Christmas. There’s a table about what each ghost shows Scrooge and what he learns from this. It’s a great week’s worth of lessons for the final week to Christmas, to keep some structure for the children while still letting them enjoy the festive period!

Used in teaching the Anglo-Saxons, this abridged version of Beowulf focuses on making the story just as exciting as the original without taking 3 weeks to read. This text can be read in one session, or over the course of a few days, dissecting each part of the story.

Pokémon coat peg labels, my year 4 class love theirs! I have also used it for equipment tray lables too.

2 downloads in 1. I use these letter and number formations in my class everyday as they can serve as a great reminder for children to support with their writing. We also laminate them and place them on the desk for specific children so they can practice going over the numbers and letters with a white board pen and then clean and use again another day or session. Downloadable as a PDF and I used the standard cursive font. This supports children who write their numbers or letters backwards as well as those who need support with fine-motor skills.

A5 posters to decorate any classroom, with word classes on them with examples taken from different Harry Potter books. We have these up in my classroom and use them as a tool during lessons, and the children are used to using them as a reminder for the different grammatical elements they will need for writing and for their SPaG tests. Visual learning and reminders are a great way to enhance that sticky knowledge we want our children to have. Having concrete reminders on the wall are a brilliant way to give children ownership of their own learning. Harry Potter is always a fun and engaging way to reach the children too.

This bookmark I use with my students so they can track which books they have read throughout the year. Since I have started using the bookmarks in the classroom, there’s been a noticeable improvement in the children wanting to read more so they can write the names of the books and colour the shelves of the bookmark on. The back has an editable name slot so they are easy to identify. I print them onto card, and they are used throughout the year.

6 posters all with examples of different linguistic writing features, ready to display in any Primary or English classroom. Including things such as metaphors, similes, personification and alliteration, they are a great visual aid to have in the room to remind children what the features are and consolidate their understanding of them.

A set of 2 posters for collective nouns. 1 for animals and 1 for sea-creatures. The collective nouns are uncommon ones, and children love using them in their writing. They make great posters for any classroom or any space in school.

Display lettering and book corner labels all in the style of Netflix. We use this as an interactive display where the children choose which books are the top 5 or the most popular and we change them depending on the cohort’s preferences. The book corner labels are a really easy way to keep the books organised, and the book monitor display we change regularly too so the children all take ownership of their learning.
