30 slides. They include: choose the right connective/paraphrase/spellings/making inferences/adding the punctuation etc. Will suit years 5,6,7,8. Please note that I have adapted some slides from my ppt 'Literacy for Science'.

I made this for my Yr 7 Nurture group, for fun literacy starters. There are 27 slides, comprising 25 activities. No photocopying necessary - all activities can be done from the board. There is a variety of lexical activities: anagrams; match-ups; gap fills; error correction; find the hidden words; sentence formation; supply the adjectives and adverbs; replace the missing vowels and more. I have used a frame from fppt.com.

This is a brain gym type activity. The students are given a description and they must guess the word, from the clue. There are 4 letters, each with 8 clues per slide. The first section is easy and the second section, going through the alphabet again, has harder clues. My students love these and they love to make their own versions. This can be done as a whole class activity, as pair work, or as a competition, with time limits. Previously, I uploaded worksheets, with the letters A and B. They were popular, so now I have completed the set.
