Fun group signs with a table points chart for each and mini labels, which can be used to stick on pupils' books or as tokens in a behaviour management strategy. Save yourself some time preparing for a new year!

This was a great tool that I used with my class. It covers contractions, general punctuation, singular possession, plural possession, was/were and much/many. Pupils are taught about a particular aspect of grammar and then shown the slides on the IWB, which asks them to fix the sentences. Perfect for AFL and ensuring that they understand. The presentation is easy to adapt and you can quickly change the sentences to suit other grammar needs that you may have. There is also a blank activity sheet, which is perfect for typing in and sending home for homework once the pupils are familiar with hoe the game works. Pupils could also use this sheet to write their own incorrect sentences for a partner to fix!

60 word flashcards covering all sounds from Phase 5 in Letters and Sounds. Cut out and laminate the sounds and you have a great, durable set of words to complement the teaching of phonics. Each picture has a picture representing the word - great for EAL learners. I have purposefully chosen some unusual words and images. This is because most pupils at KS1 age, learn so rapidly, their minds working as sponges. There should be no ceiling to the vocabulary taught to children – they should be exposed to a varied and interesting selection of words and images to ignite their curiosity and broaden their mental word banks.
These word flashcards can be used for so many things. They can be used in the teaching of phonics but can also be given to pupils to work independently on many different activities. There are 3 words for each sound and the sound is highlighted in green. Also a super resource to aid phonic interventions.
One key element in the teaching of phonics is to revisit previous sounds taught - using these flashcards is a great way to do just that! Lots of games can be played using flashcards, including, 'your pile, my pile'.
