I have created this resource using the theme of Boxing, I teach 1 hour lessons to lower ability groups but all have potential so I want to encourage this.

You can use this Dyslexia Friendly resource as part of a lesson
I created these 10 stand alone activities to be used to support the basic teaching of Shakespeare plays within the National Curriculum as it can be at times boring for the children. This includes a basic introduction to Shakepeare. These resources were created for ages 8-11, but can also be used for lower ability groups ages 11 + where often more creative activities work to keep them interested and focused
Activities include:
Word Search, Crossword, Colouring, drawing.
Work sheets:
Facts on Shakespeare
Map of Verona
Problem Page
Article
Wanted Poster
Comic Strip
I have used these activities in many ways depending on the children I am teaching and ability. I have used them in ‘stretch and challenge’, and used them to create a homework booklet.
I hope you find them as useful as I have.

What will this comprehension do for your students?
1.As an English teacher I find that reading and answering comprehension questions are important because they help students understand what they have read.
I wanted to create a non-fiction comprehension that not only could be used for a class discussion but also as individual answers.
These questions I have created to go with the articles is to make students think about the main ideas and details, making sure they really get the point of the text.
I have put the questions into the text at key areas so that it can be accessed by all levels of student.
I have found that the questions will also help students to remember what they have read by getting them to focus on key parts and think about them more deeply.
In addition, this practice builds their vocabulary and helps them learn how to explain our thoughts clearly.
