All the tricky vocabulary from Lord of the Flies in one PowerPoint. Support all levels of reader with these clear vocabulary slides featuring photographs and flat icons to aid understanding. These can be displayed on a board or on pupil devices as your read together in lessons, or used for pupils reading the novel at home. Can be used for pupils to annotate unfamiliar words in their copy of the novel as a pre-reading activity. An absolute game-changer if you find yourself stopping to explain words as you read aloud to the class. I’ve used a dyslexia-friendly font and background on these slides. 70 slides in total.
