What’s included? This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the (similar shaped) lowercase letters r, n, m, h, k. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. I designed this resource as I understand how common it is for some learners to become confused when writing certain letters especially when visually their shapes are similar. These resources should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together. Resource details The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100. This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write. I have grouped these letters into pairs - r/n, n/m and h/k. There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the date at the top of the sheet - either in word-format or number-date format. It would be helpful to keep completed sheets to track progress (and improvement!) over time. All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

What’s included? This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters s, f, x, z, e. The way these letters are written is more irregular than the letters in the other groups (also available in my TES shop - for free!) Who’s it for? These resources have been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. I designed these resources as these letters are similar in that the way they are formed is more ‘irregular’ than the other letter groups. These letters zig zag (the letter ‘z’), start and stop in alternating directions (the letter ‘x’), twist and turn (AND start and stop!) - letters ’s’ and ‘f’, begin writing in a reverse direction than ‘usual’ (the letter ‘e’).

What’s included? This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting two lowercase letters b and d. Who’s it for? I designed this resource as I understand how common it is for some learners to become confused when writing these two letters. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at b and d together. This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100. This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write. This resource focuses on the letter b for the first x4 lines then letter d for the next x4 lines. The last line focuses on both letters - b then d. Each line has been designed to become slightly more challenging in terms of the visual support provided. There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet and two clear spaces to record the date at the top of the sheet. Either in full word-format or number-date format. All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line. Lines 1 and 5 These letters are shaded a with pale grey and have an outline to help guide learners writing inside the line. The first b/d on line 1/5 begins with a clear colour-coded letter showing exactly where to begin - on the green ‘go dot’ (step 1) . Learners follow the colour coded numbered dots to the final red ‘stop dot’. Lines 2 and 6 These letters are the same as on lines 1/5, however the letters do not have the ‘outline’ guiding learners to keep ‘inside’ of the lines. Lines 3 and 7 These letters do not have an outline or grey base colour, only a starting dot and grey dotted lines. Lines 4 and 8 These letters have a grey base colour and a starting dot but do not include guiding dotted lines. Learners will need to remember the directions to form these letters by themselves. Line 9 This is a repeat of the style of the letters as previously introduced (as arranged vertically) to encourage learners to become more independent as the move right along the line when in writing these letters. Learners will also need to switch from writing b’s to d’s in the middle of line 9. Important message… ANY issues with this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? Includes ALL x26 alphabet letters with the same colour (grey) outline - so sets can be used in any combination - mix and match which letters/sounds to focus on depending on the needs of your learner/s. This download includes x22 pdfs, portrait in colour each featuring five/ten images that all begin with one sound - a b c d e/o f g h i/u j k l m n p q r s t v/y w x/z. Letter ‘x’ is the only exception where the x sound is at the END of those words/images. What’s it for? This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme). I have also grouped these letters into coloured sets (red, orange, yellow, green and blue - also available in my TES shop). However, this black and white (grey) set enables adults to focus on the sets learners need additional exposure to - to practise recognising reading, saying and matching the letters/sounds. How to use it? An adult prints the letter sheets (required) out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match. Learners are to match the image with the correct initial letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the same initial letter (end/final sound for x). This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for five/ten images (per letter). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support, revisiting any/all of these sounds. Resource Details The images chosen all have a clear initial letter sound at the beginning but are not words which can easily be sounded out. The focus of this activity is purely to identify the initial letter sound for these images - the cross (top right of each image) indicates that these images are not to be sounded out. A sound-out-able version of this ‘Alphabet Match’ activity (with matching worksheets) for every letter (using Phase 2 and 3 sounds only) is either available in my TES shop now or coming soon… The layout of every letter/sound in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. Resource layout The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size.

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit ‘how to measure objects using cm’ or students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for children in the EYFS. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to practise measuring the length of simple objects/shapes using cm (up to 25cm). How to use it? The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘centimetre’ is and what it is used for in images and words. Pages 2 to 4 (numbered 1-3) provide practical opportunity for learners to use the images of the rulers provided to carefully measure the length of each object (image) featured. Page number 1 focuses on ‘stationery’, page number 2 on ‘kitchen items’ and page number 3 on ‘tools’. Page 3 uses the vocabulary ‘longer’ and ‘shorter’ and looks at the difference (in cm) between the longest and shortest tool - which may be a new concept for some learners and so may require some support. Suggestion I would encourage learners to draw a vertical line from the end of each object to the number on the ruler above (using a pencil and ruler!) to be sure of what the total length for each item is. Important… This resource has been designed to provide learners with an opportunity to practice measuring using the images of rulers marked with cm. These rulers are illustrations of rulers and not exact centimetres. It is printed on each sheet that the ‘illustrations in this resource are not to scale’. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d love to hear from you! A review of this resource would be brilliant! Thank you!

What’s included? x2 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to make what a millilitre is visually clear to learners and to give learners an opportunity to count and identify a small amount of millilitres (up to 42) as part of 1000ml (one litre). How to use it? The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘millilitre is, that ml is short for millilitre and what millilitres are used/useful for. One thousand squares have been used to visually demonstrate what one thousand ml would look like and that this is equal to one litre. This shows just how small one millilitre is (ccompared to 1000). This may be useful to make the concept of one (or more) millilitres visually clear to learners. The second page also shows one litre/one thousand millilitres visually - as 1000 blue squares and provides learners with the opportunity to count a limited number of ml and write what amount this would be as ml - if the blue squares shown were water. Suggestion When completing the second page of this resource learners may need it to be made clear to them that each number of millilitres (the red, orange, yellow, green and blue squares) is always part of the 1000 blue squares pictured on the whole sheet and not just the 100 blue squares that the orange/yellow/green/blue squares are shown to be a part of. Important… All squares are illustrations of millilitres shown to visually represent water and of course are not exact or equal to actual millilitres. Illustrations in this resource are not to scale. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. A review of this resource would be brilliant! Thank you!

What’s included? x5 pages, landscape orientation in colour to investigate the concepts ‘BIG’ and ‘small’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years aged children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means… As a teacher/adult led discussion learners could explore what the concepts ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ mean. There are x9 pairs of images displayed on page 1, each showing items that are (when compared to each other in the ‘real world’) ‘big’ or ‘small’. Learners could first work together to identify what the big and small item is in each pair. The images shown for comparison and discussion are: the world (big) with a space rocket (small) a table (big) with a cup (small) a factory (big) with a bike (small) a tower block (big) with a person/woman (small) a flower (big) with a bee (small) a plate (big) with a pea (small) a tree (big) with a bird (small) an elephant (big) with a mouse (small) mountains (big) with a person hiking (small) Once the big/small item in each pair has been identified learners could go on to consider mixing up the items in the pictured pairs - e.g. if the ‘elephant’ was compared with the ‘world’ instead of the ‘mouse’ which would be big and which would be small? The images on pages 2 and 3 could be used as a matching activity for learners to think about and explore this further. Pages 2 and 3 are for learners to use to record three sets of pairs of items that are (when compared with each other in the real world) BIG or small. The BIG item in each pair is the be positioned on the right and the small item in each pair is to be positioned on the left. There are three spaces (for three pairs) on page 2 and page 3, learners could complete two pages (2 and 3!) Pages 4 and 5 display the images from page 1 ready to be cut up (dotted lines guide where to cut) and placed in pairs on pages 2 and 3 (or page 6). Learners could pair up the images as featured on page 1 (see this list of big/small pairs above) OR learners could pair the images differently. However the learners pair up the images the idea is to pair one BIG and one small item when thinking about the size of these items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets. This may confuse some learners and they will really need to think about these items/images carefully where pairing a big and small image together before securing them with glue on pages 2/3/6. Page 6 provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images.

What’s included? This download includes one A4, portrait pdf to practise finding ’ten more’ and ’ten less’ than various numbers up to 100. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in year two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The sheet is organised in half. Looking at finding ‘ten more’ at the top of the sheet and finding ‘ten less’ at the lower part of the sheet. There are eight numbers to find both ten more and ten less than. Two hundred number squares are provided for learners to use as needed to locate the number that is ten more and ten less. A helpful arrow reminder in each half of the sheet is displayed reminding learners to either move directly down from a number (to identify the number which is ten more) and to move directly up from a number (to identify the number which is ten less). There is a clear space to record the number date at the top right of the sheet and for learners to write their name (lower left).
