I have built up a huge number of different grammar worksheets and books and so I have placed them into two different bundles. This is part 1 of 3 bundles. There are hundreds of different pages to try.
Are you wanting to teach about how we use different materials? This bundle helps students learn how we use a wide range of different common materials. It also comes complete with the key vocabulary they need to learn about the topic and interesting English story writing prompts to help them get the most out this subject. It is a perfect way to explore what properties we are using in each of the uses we use for each material.
Here is a fun, multicultural, cross curricular set of resources for Halloween. There are maths resources, different language resources, photos about how people celebrate Halloween and even a phonics sheet about Halloween.
I love guided reading. I love to get the children to discover more from every book they read. I like my students to look at the same book from different viewpoints, such as by using Thinking Hats to get more out of each book. I have created a wide range of different worksheets which you can use time and again with different books. Try them today.
This is a collection of different early reader books and teaching resources I think you will really enjoy using. I developed my own thinking scarves reading scheme as a replacement for the thinking hats reading scheme and I even converted a whole set of books which could be used with the scheme. I also created PowerPoint versions of a wide range of different “Can you spot it books” where you need to find all the different objects listed in the picture.
I created lots of different guided reading worksheets and ideas which work with any book you already have. These worksheets can be used time and again throughout the year or the reading scheme. Try them today!
I am now using the public domain SWRL's Beginning Reading Program (BRP) and my children really love it. I thought I would develop a lot more teaching resources for this fabulous product.
I have a set of small and a set of large flashcards. One is for the students and one is for whole class learning.
I See Sam Books are a series of early reader books developed to teach children in kindergarten to read. The original series, written in 1972, as part of Southwest Regional Educational Laboratory's (SWRL) Beginning Reading Program (BRP), contained 52 books. The first book in the series starts with just 3 words: I, see, Sam. Every book or two adds a few words, until by book 52, the readers have read 95 different words. The SWRL Kindergarten Beginning Reading Program was first implemented in U.S. public schools in the early 1970's. Due to its tremendous success at achieving its goal of teaching young children to read, over the years the program has been copied, edited and/or revised by a number of individuals, institutions, and companies.
This is my toy bundle. It shows a range of modern toys and compares them to toys from the past. Which toys are still popular from the past? I also included a creative writing prompt to encourage the students to write about the different toys in more detail.
Are you learning English as a second language (ESL)? Are you looking for a fun way to learn English as a second language? I have developed a way to learn different languages based on my experience as an ESL teacher. This pack has 57 different settings for students to talk about in English as a second language. The worksheets themselves are in English and the students do need to translate the places and objects they see into English as a second language. At the end of the session, the students can play a fun game of word bingo to show they have mastered that day’s vocabulary. Try it, it is a lot of fun for everyone!
I have created 3 different grammar bundles to bundle together all my different grammar resources. This bundle helps to test your grammar skills and helps you to improve your younger students’ basic hand writing skills. It also includes 2 grammar books, which contain more grammar exercises.
**** Contains a PowerPoint presentation of the book, complete with fun whole class teaching activities *******

FREE The Magic Train Red Hat Thinking Questions - Helps Put Some Feeling Into Guided Reading
I have read everywhere how important Thinking Hat Questions are when it comes to reading. However, when I looked on the TES for lots of examples of other teachers work, I could not find a lot. I have now set myself the task of creating as many Thinking Hat Guided Reading Questions as possible for all the best selling picture books. It is a long term plan and you will need to be patient if this is not the book you were wanting. If you tell me which book you want, I will complete is as my next book. Please review these Red Hat Feeling worksheets and tell me how to improve them.
The Gruffalo is a great resource for exploring children's feelings and emotions. These three Red Hat Thinking worksheets help to guide their reading and their emotional learning skills. The worksheets are easy to differentiate and will help develop a deeper understanding of the characters.
I would love to have teachers comment on these worksheets after they have used them in the classroom.
FREE The Magic Train Black Hat Thinking Activities - Problem Solving Has Never Been So Fun!
Every day I am trying to add some more thinking hat resources I am making for my class to TES. It has been shown that Thinking Hat Questions promote higher thinking and reading skills in children and yet when it came to actually finding lots of these resources on this website, I could not find any and so I am planning to write worksheets each night and share them with everyone. I would love a review of my work and also any suggestions on what other children's books people would like me to add to this collection.
