These posters are perfect for K-5 Spanish Immersion, Bilingual or Dual Language classrooms.
There are 88 posters, 11 x 17 inch in size, included. They can be printed in different dimensions and a Printing Guide is included in the download folder.

Some of the jobdescriptions maybe a bit too advanced for the youngest learners and the EDITABLE templates allow teachers to customise the posters to their students’ level of language proficiency.

ESL ENGLISH Writing Prompts Mini-Pack (Pre-Intermediate)
Level: Pre-Intermediate
Writing prompt pictures are useful guides that direct learners to write about a particular topic.
Picture prompts are an effective way to stimulate ideas in ESL students of all ages. When your students are stumped for ideas in your creative writing lessons, you can simply bring out these picture prompts to help them think of new and imaginative ideas.
Alongside the picture prompts, there is also a set of questions that ask your pupils to write what they think about the picture. This is a great way for them to think of and write down their initial ideas. For higher ability student or older classes, *why not encourage them to write the full story on a separate piece of paper afterwards? *
This resource is also suitable for Grades 3 - 5 Native English-Speaking Students as well as ESL students
Along with the Writing Prompts activities you will find 14 handy posters, perfect for helping students to remember some of the skills they are learning to use in their writing.
The poster set includes many of the grammatical skills children often need reminding of, such as where to use full stops, commas, and capital letters. It also includes posters with more practical reminders, such as the correct way to hold a pencil and maintain neat handwriting, making them a great tool for keeping your students focused on all the new writing skills they are learning.

GUIDED READING SKILLS Task Cards
GUIDED READING SKILLS Task Cards
Suitable for Grades 3 - 6 learners
These task cards will help you deliver outstanding guided reading lessons to your students. Understanding a whole story at once can be tricky or even overwhelming for some students; with these cards, you can divide reading tasks into manageable parts. Talk about the author’s message, the main idea of the text, the cause and effect of events and more.
Guided reading tasks are designed to help children develop their reading skills; reading together and aloud strengthens their reading fluency, pronunciation and their ability to find meaning within a text.
Often conducted in small groups of children with similar reading ability, guided reading sessions are a fantastic way of giving children more focused support when learning to read texts.
The cards are split into different subtopics that your guided reading lessons can be centered around.
These include:
Cause and Effect
Sequencing
Author’s purpose
Fact and Opinion
Prediction
Retrieval*
Each set of task cards includes sections of text with an accompanying question that targets a specific subtopic, helping to reinforce reading skills and topic knowledge.
If you need ideas for how to use these cards in your lessons, you could:
Separate your class into groups of similar reading ability and go through this task with each group.
Use this as a starter activity, or expand on the tasks to use them for a full lesson.
Ask your students to create a storyboard of the events on the cards, or draw and label a picture of what is being described.
Use them as prompts to inspire some creative writing, using characters or settings described on the cards.

MAIN IDEA & SUMMARIZING: Reading Passages with Writing Activities
MAIN IDEA & SUMMARIZING: Reading Passages with Writing Activities
(ESL/EAL/ELA)
This 1st part of this pack focuses on summarizing Non-fiction texts. Students will have to identify the main ideas, and summarize an informational text as a whole. There is a set of questions for each non-fiction piece, which will lead learners into identifying the aspects of the text, which are essential to writing a good summary.
Repeated use of this leading set of questions will naturally allow learners to develop an efficient strategy to approach informational texts, when summarizing.
One of the most frequent questions will involve choosing a name for the passage in question. This is a fun and creative way of identifying the Main Idea.
The 2nd part is more focused on Fiction and Creative Writing skills. There is a set of picture prompts with beautiful images that will certainly spark young writers’ imagination. For each picture prompt there is a set of leading questions which will help learners develop a mental structure when creating their stories.
There is also a set of story starters, where the learner is given an illustration and a starting sentence and then has to complete the story. I included this sub-section at the end as it doesn’t have a set structure as for the previous section.
The idea is that once learners have practiced with the leading questions, can then attempt a less restrained writing activity to test the techniques learnt. This sub-section can also be used for in Mixed Ability classrooms to provide Differentiated Activities for the more confident students.
Included:
27 Non-Fiction Passages with Questions and Activities
11 Picture Prompt Guided Writing Activities
8 “Complete the Story” Creative Writing Activities
The entire resource is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and is also available on Google Slides. Inside the zip folder, along with the main product, you will find a pdf document with the Google Slide Access Link.
