Criteria grids to support assessment for learning of Entry Level English writing work, students can also use these to assess themselves against the criteria. NCFE Functional Skills- Entry Level 1-3 and Level 1 Originally created for a post 16 class working at Entry Level 1-3 and Level 1

A 6 week program of spellings, originally made for an SEN class. Their spelling and writing abilities are pre-keystage and they require the visual supports to understand how to use the words. The lists include high frequency words, graphemes and consonant trigraphs. Lists include visuals to support understanding and a page where students can use some of the words in a sentence.

Originally made for KS3 SEN class for students of pre key stage level (p scale). Sentences to go with each page of the book to describe what is happening. Images from the book or photocopies can be used to sequence parts of the story and describe what the character’s are doing. I have also included a template that can be used alongside images from the book to create a sentence, with the colours there as a guide for lower level students, or students new to colourful semantics. I have included a page of ‘little words’ or white words that can be cut up and slotted into the colourful semantics to create full sentences for students of a higher level. There are also communicate in print supports for adjectives that can be used for higher levels as well. Eg: The brave mouse climbed on the dragon’s tail.

Originally made for a KS3 SEN class studing the book, Lost and Found. I read the description of the penguin and the students had to draw and guess the animal. The students then read the description underlined the adjectives and made thier own word mat full of adjectives and phrases to describe the penguin. The colourful semantics was used to put the description into sentences, I have uploaded an example of sentences they made. I also printed white words so they could write in full sentences.

5 weeks worth of spelling practise. Students have 5 words per week. The document can be edited as I have included the days I give my students the spellings. Wk1- bit, hit, kit, sit, pit Wk2- nod,won,son,fox,box Wk3- dog,log,jog,fog,sob Wk4-dot,hot,pot,mop,hop Wk5- mud,bug,jug,mug,rug

Colourful semantics to go with 23 CVC words. I split these into 4 words per week (one week, has 3 words) and we work on spelling these words and using them in sentences, but this can be easily adapted if you wanted to use more words per week. I have included colourful semantics boards, from the basic Who, What doing, What, to more complex Who, What doing, What, Where, Why. I have laminated these for my class and differentiate so some of the students complete only the 3 word sentences and some complete the 4 or 5 word sentences, but using the same pictures. I have included 3 pictures of examples of students using the boards and words (I hav blanked out student names)

6 pictures and 6 basic sentences to be created using colourful semantics. I have included a template of the colours in order that can be stuck in books for students who need to use the colours to identify which words should go where.

6 spelling practise worksheets, designed for an SEN class, for weekly spellings. Includes PECs for the words to aid understanding for low level students. Includes- ad, ag/am, an, ap/at, ut/ug and ed/eg words. Includes a word list so spellings can be sent home if necessary.
