My Kids LOVE this activity and I use it whenever I’m teaching inference. A lovely starter or plenary activity. Just ask your student’s to write a clue in the box and see if their partner can guess what it is. Please make sure whoever is writing the clue draws the correct number of letter spaces (using little squares). Hours and hours of fun… you can also use this as a speaking and listening task! Please enjoy!

Spelling Revision! At the end of each month, I get the whole class (or group of children) to look through their English/Literacy books. They identify a few spellings they got wrong (from my marking) and record them on the sheet provided. You have the choice of asking the children to record 10 spellings they got wrong or 15 ( I’ve attached both). The sheet is then sent home and the children are asked to work with an adult to learn them. I also give them a SPELLING BOOK so they have something to practise their spellings in. Once the children have mastered the spellings, a parent has to sign at the bottom. I (or my TA) then tests the children. Fully editable.
