This is a follow-up resource to my most popular resource Eleven Plus Vocabulary Lists. I teach many Year Five and Six students that are prepping for the 11 Plus and last year I noticed that they needed more exposure to high level vocabulary for these exams. As many of these students are strong spellers, I decided to alternate weekly spelling lists with these vocabulary lists. They practise the words with activities from my spelling menu as many of the activities do not solely focus on spelling. This is NOT for learning the spelling, but for learning meanings of words. You will need to think of another way to test students instead of the typical ‘spelling test’. I suggest giving them another printout of their lists for them to write definitions/synonyms for their words. Includes 16 lists (2 lists per page, organised into groups of 8, except list 25 which is a whole page). UK/AU/CAN spellings Slightly different from my last resource, there are 9 high-level vocabulary lists and 7 lists with a focus on roots. From what I understand, roots are included in a huge section of round one in the Surrey 11 Plus for Sutton/Wilson/Nonsuch exam. Roots covered are: -aqua/aque -fort -dict -geo -grad/gres -ject -hydr -port -log/logue -astr -rupt -therm -scrib/script -chron Hope this resource helps! Kelli x

Hello fellow educator! I am sharing this guided reading/comprehension resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your lessons. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community. Please note that I left this resource in Word so that you can edit it for your needs. There are also PDFs. Please note that there are questions for every chapter and writing prompts for every other chapter. It’s there for you to pick and choose. A little about me and this resource: I was the English Coordinator at a UK school and I took on the task one year of developing a guided reading programme for KS2 (ages 7-11) as I noticed this was missing from the school. I have included individual pupil questions and/or writing prompts that students glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher/independently. About this resource: I created this for a high ability guided reading group for UK Year 3 (US 2nd/3rd grade). I have also used these questions with reluctant readers and students I have tutored. Kids love Charlotte’s Web! Other resources available: US K-2/UK Lower KS2 Guided Reading: Sheep-Pig, Hodgeheg, Diary of a Killer Cat, Billy the Bird, Bill’s New Frock, The Iron Man, James and the Giant Peach US 3-6/UK Upper KS2 Guided Reading: Reading Assessment Focus tasks linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy, Indian in the Cupboard, Wreck of the Zanzibar, Carrie’s War, Artemis Fowl PLEASE NOTE: -resources in Word so you can edit! -8 sets of activities/questions to a page to save paper

Hello fellow educator! I am sharing this guided reading resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your guided reading lesson. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community. Please note that this resource is in PDF and Power Point so that you can edit it to how you see fit. This particular resource for Peter Pan has a focus on vocabulary. As this novel is written over 100 years ago, it contains archaic language and concepts. I used it with students prepping for the 11+ exam. Please note that the Guided Reading Record Sheet has the vocabulary presented as it comes up in each chapter. The vocabulary at the end of the resource is designed to be shared with students in the form of bookmarks or similar to support independent reading. –OTHER READING RESOURCES— Guided Reading Record with questions: James and the Giant Peach The Iron Man Sheep-Pig Billy the Bird Butterfly Lion Charlotte’s Web Hodgeheg Upper KS2 Guided Reading (vocabulary support): Reading tasks linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy Indian in the Cupboard Diary of a Killer Cat Wreck of the Zanzibar Carrie’s War Artemis Fowl Kind Regards, Kelli

Hello! I created this for a pupil I was tutoring for the 11 Plus exam. But it can easily be used with a class/exam prep group. There are 10 words per page, written in sentences to support students deciphering words in context (10 pages in all). Definitions for the words are mixed up to the right to choose from. I have found this an extremely helpful way to expose my student to more vocabulary, connect it in context and continually revisit the words. I also write the words on coloured lolly sticks to play Boom (explained in resource). OPTIONS: Give out sheets with sentences and definition choices. Pupils write the number of definition next to vocabulary word after reading sentences (drawing lines across gets messy). More challenging: Give the sheets without the definition choices. Pupils write a simple definition next to word above sentence. Give quiz at the end of the week and/or randomly over the next few weeks/months. ANSWERS INCLUDED for you or students to use for marking I hope it helps! I will be creating more that include crosswords, so look out for that in the future. Best, Kelli

I created these spiral review notebooks for my Year 1 class. This PDF resource is aligned with the White Rose concepts but there is not a booklet for each unit (no positional words, measurement for example) however covers the major concepts of Number, Place Value, Shape, Money & Time. There are 28 booklets in total and 164 pages with 3-4 pages per booklets to practise the concept (sometimes more pages). Use as you see fit. Some may be too easy for some, but could be used for intervention for other students. I’ve used these booklets as morning work, work if they finish a maths lesson early and intervention. I have a little basket they put booklets in when completed and I mark at the end of the day. They work at their own pace and skill level. Assemble: -I copy the covers on coloured paper so the booklets don’t all look the same (and the kids like it!) except booklets #5 and 6 because I wanted some of the objects in colour but it’s not imperative. -I copy the corresponding pages and create an assembly line and then staple. Thanks for your purchase! I hope it helps your students and saves you time! Best, Kelli
