Literacy Students have to sort the words into the categories of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs using a key and then write their own sentences. Used for KS3 SEN.

Literacy A worksheet created to help my KS3 SEN class understand metaphors. It involves giving the meaning and drawing a literal visual picture, getting harder as it goes along. *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy. This sheet was made for Key Stage 3 Literacy classes to help them to proof read. Some students will be able to recognise that certain things are wrong. Some will be able to correct the mistakes. *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy This is presented on a powerpoint but I printed the sheets out in a size suitable to stick in books instead of asking the weak writers to copy them all out. The students can now refer to this page when given feedback about their spelling. Their They're Their Where Were Wear We're Your You're Too Two To

Literacy This basic lesson was made and used for a Literacy class for SEN students to give them a frame-work to do: a) some writing to persuade work b) some peer assessment of each other's speeches Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy Simply pictures of tattoos with mistakes in! Helps the students to see that other people make mistakes too and gives them 'real life' examples to correct.

Literacy Students have to correct the sentences by putting in the missing capital letters. Feel free to jazz it up! *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy This lesson had the objective of recognising the difference between facts and opinion. It should be quite self-explanatory on the powerpoint itself. In one lesson I used stand up/sit down for a fact/opinion. In another lesson where this would have been too disruptive, I handed out two different coloured cards and they held up the appropriate one. This would also be appropriate for Entry Level/Step Up to English. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy Some story titles to act as prompts when doing free creative writing.

Literacy Students have to choose a speech topic and then follow the persuasive writing techniques.

Literacy I have used this prompt card to stick in the front of exercise books for lower sets/SEN. You could also laminate the card, punch a hole in it, and tie it with a piece of string into a student's planner so it is visible in every lesson and can be used as a tool to check over the basics in every piece of work. Have you used capital letters correctly? Have you used punctuation correctly? I find the MINTS acronym to be helpful for capital letters.

Literacy A guideline for students to follow while doing a research task. This can then act as a basis for a further lesson on advertising holidays, or as a speaking and listening task - for example, for Entry Level or Step Up to English. It gives them some structure for learning computer room research skills.

Literacy Just one slide. An idea I had for some extend writing but focusing the sentence starters on our topic of 'Apostrophes of Omission/Contraction.' I just put this screen up as students began to say they were 'finished' with the other tasks.

Literacy Homophones Powerpoint for a KS3 SEN lesson.

Literacy An A5 worksheet (cut in half) for students to create a visual to remember homophones. I gave each student in the class a different pair of homophones and they had to draw each one and also write a sentence for each one. If you wanted each student to have a complete set you could then photocopy them. This was successful because it allowed my weak writers to understand the concept without having to do lots of writing. A5 is also easier/neater for their books!

Literacy Useful for SEN. I print these out and cut up or laminate for students who have trouble recognising capital letter mistakes that they have made in their work. In Literacy, I have cut the strips up and stuck one in every margin of specific exercise books to serve as a reminder. Some students repeatedly put capital letters in the middle of words, for example, and on investigation I found that some of them didn't know what the lower case letter looked like.

Literacy I prepared this worksheet to help staff navigate through the Clicker 6 software. I laminated the sheets double sided so that they could also be given to new support staff. Obviously the part about saving a Clicker 6 set will be particular to the school, so feel free to edit that. Hope you find it helpful.

Literacy For a quick lesson or to give some inspiration for writing a longer piece, here are 20 ideas that could spark the imagination. Best used for descriptive writing.

Literacy An idea for a bit of extended writing inspired by the lesson on Apostrophes for Possession. When it was clear other work was being finished up or the point of the lesson had been grasped, I put this on the board as an extension for those who had finished. Use of superheroes and celebrities just to capture their imagination!

Literacy A list of homophones on a worksheet as a prompt for writing sentences with each one.
