I am an experienced primary teacher who has a particular interest in English skills. I have been a literacy coordinator for ten years and a reading lead for two. I have a sound understanding of grammar and punctuation. I include resources that help explain grammatical rules. I have written many plays over the years and I have included scripts useful for class assemblies or complete end of year shows. There are also example texts ideal for modelling or comprehensions.
