Tier 2 words are ones which children might encounter in text but are less likely to use in everyday conversation. As these words are often unfamiliar to children, they can sometimes act as a barrier to reading. We have chosen 48 Tier 2 words for this Year 3 pack.
The Tier 2 words in this pack can be used by children to add more adventurous or formal vocabulary to their writing. The worksheets can also be used as a reading comprehension activity.
In Year 1, pupils need to learn about exclamation marks. Teach how they are used in sentences with this brightly coloured poster, then allow children to apply their skills with the card sort activity and worksheets.
This display pack is perfect for supporting Year 1 children as they learn to write simple sentences. Two sets of materials are included:
Set 1 reminds pupils to use a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop, and to read their final sentence to check that it makes sense.
Set 2 builds upon this and includes the information above plus reminders to form letters correctly and use ‘and’ to extend sentences.
Each set could be used at different stages as sentence writing progresses throughout year 1. It also enables you to easily differentiate by giving pupils resources appropriate for their stage of development in writing.
