Literacy Corner Shop

I have been teaching English, literacy and creative writing for 12 years now & have a passion for raising achievement in literacy. In my shop you will find resources for phonics, sentence building, prepositions, genre & personification as well as The BFG. The resources are designed to help form understanding of the concepts in a fun and engaging way. Students with low literacy levels can feel intimidated by the academic expectations placed on them, however these resources are easily adaptable.

Prepositions Worksheets

(0)
This prepositions resource introduces the basic concept of prepositions to pupils in a fun and engaging way. The resource includes a preposition definition and images to engage the learner. It contains two cloze activities which upon their completion, serve as preposition examples in relation to the pictures. I have used this resource with SEN KS3 pupils; however this is also suitable for KS2 learners and for the purpose of teaching prepositions in English grammar to EAL learners and ESL students. A preposition is a word used before a noun (or pronoun) that tells you where it is in relation to something else. A fun way to extend prepositions for kids after completing this task is to ask pupils to make up their own sentences on the spot using the objects and prepositions they can identify around them. Contains two worksheets.

Personification Worksheets

(0)
The resource offers a personification definition and gives pupils the opportunity to show understanding by giving their own personification examples using the provided images. The resource contains a verb word bank to assist students in constructing sentences and building their own personification examples. The second personification activity includes a picture chart showing inanimate objects. This visual personification task has been designed to aid pupils with a range of learning needs/levels to successfully use the language device. This resource has been used and adapted with pupils at both KS2 and KS3 across a range of learning needs. The picture chart on the second page can also be used as a differentiated task alternative to the personification writing task on the first page. The third sheet contains a personification based wordsearch containing weather words.
