I'm an ex-teacher (is that possible? Surely once a teacher, always a teacher, right?) who has primary, secondary and SEND experience. My resources are English- and Literacy-based, and have a tendency to be designed to accommodate students with an additional need to be engaged! Thank you for visiting :)

A short story designed for use in the practice of language and structure analysis. This includes a cover sheet with ideas.
The resource can also be used as a discussion starter, being in the region of 200 words. The story is left ambiguous so that there are a variety of interpretations.
Because of this the story can also be used as a great prompt for creative writing, as the tale can be continued in a range of directions…

Two editable sheets with activities for practising five spellings. Each one has a selection of activities to complete using the designated spellings given by you.
Both sheets have space for look/say/cover/write/check/repeat.
Sheet 1:
This is the more flexible of the two sheets, allowing pupils to choose their own exercise to do additional practice for their learning. There is also a grid for creating a ‘crossword’ or wordsearch with their spellings. The grid is 10x10 and will therefore only accommodate spellings up to ten letters, unless you want to allow more creativity! There is also a section for writing the definitions of the words.
Sheet 2:
The activities on this sheet comprise:
Putting each of the words into a sentence;
Recognising the word class for each of the spellings;
A space for matching the spelling with a definition or synonym (to be filled in by you);
Space for pupils to identify the key point to remember with regard to that spelling (eg. a double letter, a c instead of an s etc);
A space for pupils to find other words with a similarity (of your choice) with a spelling/the spellings on the list (eg. having the same letter pattern/prefix/suffix)
