The words ‘Author of the Month’ to be displayed in a school that celebrates different authors from around the world each month. The lettering is available in a .png format.

All 100 words from the Year 5 and 6 spelling word list put into contextualised sentences. Children can then use the sentences to work out the meaning of each word. This can be used as part of a larger activity or as a quick oral and mental starter at the beginning of each lesson. Regular use of this will teach children how to infer the meaning of a word by using the contextualised sentences behind them.

A collection of word and .pdf documents of simple lined paper. These can be used for various causes. The .pdf document can be dragged onto publisher or powerpoint files, or interactive whiteboard software, to give you a lined background. This is useful when modelling writing to young children. You can choose from different sizes of paper, A3, A4, and A5, as well as different orientations (portrait and landscape). I have also made them with different widths between each line: 10mm for younger writers, and 7mm for more experienced writers.

Year 3 and 4 Fronted Adverbial worksheet based on a stepped-approach to teaching grammar. Starts by giving a description of what the grammatical target looks like, before working through increasingly complex levels of difficulty to support children internalising and using the grammar skill independently. Children will remember, apply and analyse the grammar being used correctly and incorrectly before attempting to write their own. Designed to allow children to write these into their books, rather than on them. Supports greater depth writers by allowing them to write multiple versions of some of the more complex sentences.

A5 prompt cards with creative writing scenarios for children to complete the story in multiple ways. Supports greater depth writing - especially if children are able to write multiple endings to the same scenario. Scenarios can be finished in any way children interpret, so there are endless possibilities for how to complete these and no one way is correct. Cards are in black and white like many of my resources to save on coloured ink and to avoid over-stimulation through colour-overload.

A (hopefully) useful resource for identifying features of a genre in UKS2. The generic nature of the sheet means that it can be used across any genre of writing and teaches children the skills they need in order to write a specific genre of their own choosing. Resource focuses on audience and purpose of a genre, language and vocabulary, characters and motivations, settings, and structure - as well as additional space to add in own notes. It can be used as part of classroom teaching to support English planning and story writing, or as part of a provision-based learning environment, alongside story books organised by genre, for children to access independently and write their own genre-specific stories.

Phonics 1:1 intervention to show individual sounds that children can recognise. Excellent way of showing progress in phonics linked to Letters and Sounds progression. Use different colour highlighters each term to show progress. User circles 2-4 sounds that child is currently working on so that different adults can continue intervention on same sound. Tick or highlight when achieved and circle next sound.

A generic template for children to use in KS2 classrooms when conducting their own non-fiction research- whether about significant people, places or significant events. This double-sided document has the new curriculum in mind, asking children what they already know about a topic of their choosing, before generating their own questions and answering them. Again, with the Education Inspection Framework in mind, children are asked to consider the connections they have made to things they have learned previously, before considering if there is any further research they will need to conduct. This resource is useful for non-fiction research lessons, or in classrooms with a non-fiction provision area.
