I used these resources in Year 1 by setting up a crime scene in the classroom. I asked a family police officer to record a video, asking the children to help them with their investigation. The children then recorded their observations and drew the scene using the Crime Scene Investigation and then completed the suspect sheet. Also within this pack: *Official Police Report- children to pretend they are working for the police to write up about the incident. *Wanted poster template. *How to Catch a Porridge Thief- Instructional text. *Questions for Goldilocks. *Investigator Certificates I hope your children enjoy these resources as much as mine did!

These have been used in Year 1. The children get into pairs. Partner 1 is the teacher and points to the word, Partner 2 reads the word. They then swap over so that they both get to read all of the words. It is the ‘teachers’ job to support their partner to self correct the words. Once complete the children put sound buttons on the words and then practise writing them on the back of the sheet.

The children use the treasure chest and bin to read and sort words into real and nonsense words.

This reading incentive has been used successfully in Year 1. Photos of the children were printed and laminated so that every time they read 10 more times they would visit a new setting which was placed on the wall in a line. Prize stars were placed on particular settings so the children were rewarded for their reading achievements.
