An editable “Me as a Reader” template profile is a creative, personal way to get children to reflect on what they think about themselves as a reader. The template includes: My favourite author: My favourite genre: When do I like to read? My favourite places to read: My to be read pile: My most memorable reading experience: My future reading goal: My favourite characters: How I rate reading: Hope it’s helpful! :)

Based on a popular articulating game, I have created cards with different categories covering all areas of Grammar, Punctuation and the Year 3/4 5/6 spelling word lists. Children need to verbally describe to their partner what they have written in front of them. A great way to revise all areas of SPAG (GPS). 105 cards included. Red: Year 5/6 Spelling Words Green: Year 3/4 Spelling Words Blue: Punctuation Yellow: Clauses/Phrase/Sentence Orange: Word Class / Word Structure Purple: Tense/Voice

I have created an Underground Map linking similar fiction books together to help with reading for pleasure in Key Stage 2. For example, if a child likes reading David Walliams, they can follow the “Funny” line to find other similar books. The lines cross at certain points as well to encourage children to read other genres! I have also included the original Word document, so you can edit and change it!

10 quick ideas on how to implement reading for pleasure in your school! Each idea comes with ideas on how to set it up and some ideas on how to monitor its impact! Hope it helps :)

Use these templates to create a display where children can update what they are currently reading! I get children to use post it notes and stick them in the big white space underneath “READING”. In past years, I have also laminated them and children can then write on them with a whiteboard pen and rub off when they have finished their book! I’ve also included a border that can be coloured in by the pupils! There is an A4 pdf, A5 pdf and an editable version. Unfortunately, if you don’t have the same fonts installed, they will revert to default fonts! Hope they are helpful! :)
