These activities have been created and are dated in the order they are taught. Great sheets for EAL children so that they understand what they are trying to spell.

I have created these phoneme frames with pictures to support the phonemes in Phase 5. Children can then work independently using the pictures to work out what spelling is needed. These worksheets were a great introduction to a new sound.

A simple way to assess if children can read the words specified by the new curriculum. There is a scoring system so you can analyse strengths and weaknesses in your cohort and from term to term.

Termly word reading assessment which covers all the different words children should be able to read by the end of Year 2. I did these assessments on a termly basis and scored each area to show strengths and next teaching points across the cohort. Also great to show impact on reading interventions that you may do!

Lots of ideas on how to support children with aspects of Phase 1 indoor and outdoors and rhymes too! I have also added an overview sheet to do an audit of opportunities for this area.

These were used for children to take home with their reading books. Can be adapted to suit individual children's needs. I have also created common exception word bookmarks and other words to read in another bundle e.g suffixes and contractions

This set of bookmarks contains lists of words that children across KS1 need to be able to read. These were ideal for parents so that they understood the expectation for reading and also could be used an assessment tool to see if they could read these words after practising these at home. I have also included a class list tracker that I used to keep track of which bookmarks children had taken home.

These are used to ensure children can read the range of words across the KS1 curriculum. Year 2 assessments are different each term and you can give a score for each area of the curriculum to identify strengths and weaknesses. I have also created a spelling assessment along the same lines. Please see the other bundle for this.

These are termly spelling assessments that cover the whole curriculum. You can score each area to see strengths and weaknesses for each child and for the whole class. This is a really informative assessment and I made these after searching for a scheme that produced a straight forward assessment and couldn't find it!

5 activities to support children to understand and choose the correct spelling.

2 activities to support the teaching of the aw family

These activities cover all the different alternative spellings taught in Phase 5 e.g n/kn, s/se, wr/r

Contained in this bundle are guided reading bookmarks for the reading skills needed across KS1, an editable word mat to use with your guided reading books to pick out new words to decode and new vocabulary. I have also included the presentation that I used to present these ideas to my staff at school. The word mats can also be used as an assessment and evidence tool towards to assessment criteria at the end of KS1. I have included some example word mats too. Each group had a set of bookmarks so they knew which skill they were working on in each session.

Used as an introduction to African animals. Children then used this information to write their own extended sentences about animals. They then went on to create fact files for an information leaflet.

2 week unit including text, overview of learning objectives, 2 weeks of planning and self assessment for children. Also included powerpoints for other teaching points and activities related to this and support documents and word mats.

This bundle includes an overview plan of the unit and learning objectives covered and also resources for each day including report texts on fire engines and police. I have included the word mats and glossaries which were very useful especially for my EAL children.

Bookmarks created for each guided reading group so that children understand whether they are decoding new words, learning new vocabulary, finding words in the context of the book, understanding the context of the book, thinking about ideas that have been created from reading the book.

Used this poem to teach children about using capital letters correctly.

Great powerpoint as a starter to a topic on winter or use for a Geography topic on seasonal changes/weather.
