The resources that I am sharing I have used successfully as a Primary Tutor to develop learning, understanding and confidence with individual students. They can also be used for group work. To keep my teaching skills sharp and to continue to develop my understanding of the curriculum, I also work as a Supply Teacher. Before becoming a Tutor I was a Senior Leader in a large Primary school holding the position of Assess Co-ordinator; I have also been a Year Leader and a SENCO.

I created this resource to support a reluctant writer to write with detailed. The student has wonderful ideas when we discuss writing stories and descriptions but frequently does not include these ideas when writing. The prompt encourages the students to quickly build a bank of words, identify the theme for each paragraphs. After writing there is also a prompt to edit and develop their work. I have also used this prompt with a student preparing for GCSE.

I created this resource using two traditional rhymes with the purpose of supporting students in learning to spell the days of the week and the months of the year. It can also help them remember the sequence of the months. It evolved to became a writing prompt where the students create their own poems describing activities that occur on a particular day or month.

I created this resource for an individual student who was asking about remembrance poppies. The student is not a confident reader so I wrote short statements and instructions are given for the students to follow so that at the end of the activity a poppy and a leaf is cut out and glued correctly onto a coat template. The students are also encouraged to add their own thoughts and facts about Remembrance Day.
