Great resources for teaching English as an additional language. Free resource includes : 1) Set of photo cards and matching words. 2) Picture Dictionary Sheet. 3) Handouts for oral and written work.

Includes 5 Non-fiction texts with 5 question/activity sheets. Text titles: Our classroom New shoes Please and thank you Bread One acorn The text is very short and includes a picture on the front of each reading card. Most children at Foundation Stage may not be able to read the text by themselves, though they may be able to guess at some of the words because of the context. The idea is that an adult or more-able reader will read the words to and with the child, before discussing the picture and the theme of the card. The Talk time questions on the other side of the card are simply suggested prompts for the adult. It is important to encourage the child to ask questions about the theme of the card. The Fun time activities are designed to trigger off cross-curricular investigations, research enquiries and creativity. The activities may be done at school or at home and a summary of the resources needed for each card is given on card G. The activities are mainly practical in nature, so that all children can succeed, whatever their levels of literacy. The Puzzle time section contains cartoons or puzzles that are related to the main theme of each card. They give children the opportunity of playing with words and reinforcing their language skills. Each card has an All join in section with either a short poem, a song or a rhyme. Very few children at this stage will be able to read the words by themselves, but the intention is for the adult and child to learn the rhyme by heart and enjoy saying it together. Leave a review

Taken from our Upper Keystage 2 Literacy Resource File Includes all lessons and resources Lesson 1: Inside a story- LO: To identify a point of view Lesson 2: 2 Ways into a story- LO: To identify how different stories are opened. Lesson 3: Colin Thompson’s stories and characters- LO:Identify the main parts of a story and to create a character profile Lesson 4:Tell me a story- LO:To experiment with writing in different styles. Lesson 5: Comparing story openings by Michael Morpurgo- LO:Compare the openings of two stories by the same author and comment on what makes an effective opening. Lesson 6 : Does Tomas Believe in Unicorns- LO:To explore characterisation through drama. Lesson 7:Tomas and the librarian- LO: To use empathy to explore the character of Tomas About this unit There are six units on fiction in this file for years 5 and 6. The second unit focuses on the work of modern authors of children’s fiction. We have chosen to focus on Colin Thompson and Michael Morpurgo, but it is possible to repeat some of the activities using books by other authors with whom the children may be familiar, such as Roald Dahl and David Walliams. The children will examine the story structures and aspects of each author’s style and will have opportunities to write short stories of their own. They will be encouraged to explore various characters and situations through role play and will work towards writing and staging their own short plays. They will develop the habit of keeping a reading journal (on paper or screen) as a way of supporting and extending reading. The Michael Morpurgo lessons are more challenging and you may wish to use them later in Upper KS2 than those on Colin Thompson’s books. The unit focuses on Books by Colin Thompson, for example The Paradise Garden, The Paperbag Prince, Falling Angels, Sid the Mosquito and other wild stories and I Believe in Unicorns and Why the Whales Came by Michael Morpurgo.

Two units from Make Phonics Fun Each topic within Make Phonics Fun is supported by a range of lively and appealing pupil text. The two units are based around the theme of starting school and the weather. Includes fiction/ non-fiction text, vocabularly words and activities based on the texts. Across the different genres, children are introduced through the fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts to a list of key words, enabling them to develop their decoding and blending skills. Real and pseudo words have been chosen to cover the grapheme-phoneme correspondences. Each topic is also supported by photocopiable, labelled picture scenes, providing visual cues for some of the key real and pseudo words to be tested. Care has been taken to ensure that the pictures representing the key pseudo words are of objects and items that are clearly meant to be imaginary. Leave a review.
