This is a three week unit on Jack and the Beanstalk based loosely on the talk for writing objectives too. It includes work on story mountains, grammar work and vocabulary. Any questions please ask

These SPAG assessments have been designed to be half termly with a score so that you can easily see gaps in children's learning. There are a variety of questions and covers the whole of the year 1 and 2 curriculum. Year 1 have 5 assessments that can start from autumn half term and Year 2 have 4 assessments. Please see the other assessments I have uploaded for other areas of the KS1 curriculum.

This resource includes a simplified version of the text covering the four seasons so children can learn the story out loud, planning and also a word mat for vocabulary and spelling.

KS1 reading comprehension about Handa’s Surprise. I have used this during a unit of work on Handa’s Surprise and also as part of guided reading sessions

This is a great resource that I have used for years. I use it to check that children are on the correct book band. These books are from reading schemes such as Bug Club and Collins Big Cat. They do have the old national curriculum levels on them but book bands have not changed since the change of curriculum so still relevant now. I then track my children on a book band tracker which I have attached to this bundle too.

This is a two week unit plan aimed at FS/Year 1 class. It has resources linked to the planning attached. I have also added art and DT ideas too.

This is a performance poetry unit for Year 1 over a week. It includes the poem, word mat and resources and planning for the week. Such a fun poem to perform!!

Differentiated activities with picture clues and sentence openers to support writing the story How the Tortoise got its Shell.

This bundle contains planning, resources, imitation text, invention text and teaching points as well as word mats etc

I created these to have an author focus every fortnight in our reading area. The authors include Clare Freedman, Jill Murphy, Martin Waddell, Mick Inkpen, Oliver Jeffers, Sue Hendra.

I created these powerpoints to support parents to deliver phonics at home to their children. I showed them the outline of the powerpoint and then the parents were able to follow the same structure each day. I have also used these for small group interventions with Year 1/2 children. My KS2 colleagues have also found these useful too. There are 52 powerpoints which equates to 10 weeks worth of phonics intervention. Any questions please ask

This is a non-fiction unit using the story “When Granny went to Market” where she flies around the world on a magic carpet visiting different countries. The class all jumped on a flying carpet (rug) and we visited different countries with props too. Planning resources and powerpoints all included.

These are sets of CEW words put into reading and spelling progression that have been used across the KS1 to ensure all children can read and spell these words. They have been put on shapes too to help with recognition (love a bit of cross curricular!!)

These resources are based around the book “Monstersaurus”. I created instructions that Year 1 children can read using their phonic knowledge and then also created their own instructions too.

Alternative pronunciations for graphemes can be introduced with these activities e.g. ea in tea, head and break.

I have included poetry units, stories such as Goldilocks and How the Tortoise got its shell as well as non fiction units such as Where does our breakfast come from?

These assessments cover all areas of the spelling curriculum in Year 1. It also has a scoring system so you can compare progress from one term to the next and also identify the next steps in the teaching of spelling with your class.
