‘Work In Progress’ signs, FREE download! Busy children are often expected to stop what they are enthralled with and return the classroom to a tidy state, whether what they are playing with is completed or not. These ‘Work In Progress’ signs I created for children to put on models or construction that they have not yet completed in order to protect what is being built so that others know not to tidy it away. No more anxiety over “but it’s not finished!” and I convey the message that the ideas and creations of a child are respected and viewed as far more important than the tidiness of the room. The idea is working too well for me to not share it, so here is a link to download copies of the resources I have made, help yourselves. #givechildrenownership #workinprogress #simpleyetsignificant #EYFS #reception #letthembelittle #learningthroughplay #makeitfun #activelearning #theteachertraveller #messylearning #funlearning #earlyyears #teacher #learn #littleones #kindergarten #geraldthetravellinggiraffe #teach #explore #noworksheetsallowed

Eyes on the road! These mini roads encourage children to segment and blend together CVC words! Children can either use their fingers to move along the road, or a little toy car. As they 'drive' past the letters, they say them (segmenting), then when they reach the end of the road, they blend them together to read the full word (blending). These little roads add a bit of fun to practising those early skills necessary to reading! 32 different CVC words included on roads which can be printed to different sized papers depending on how large you would like them. Have fun and happy road reading! - The Teacher Traveller :)

32 different pseudo words for children to segment, blend and read - all on pink, child friendly little monsters! This pack helps to introduce pseudo words as fake words as they have been linked to the names of the monsters to make it more meaningful. Pseudo words help to check that children are able to read non familiar words, rather than solely relying on good vocabulary knowledge or visual memory of words. Pack includes: 32 different pseudo words. A large format (4 monsters to a page) to allow them to be easily cut out and made into flashcards. A small format (16 monsters to a page) to use when testing children. Monsters with ‘sound buttons’ included on the words. Have fun! The Teacher Traveller
