Holiday/beach/seaside sensory poem on 16 bright, colourful slides. I wrote this poem myself, ensuring I used rhyme, metaphors and similies, that can be pointed out to the students and used to start their independent work on poetry. I used this in both a mainstream school with year ones and in my complex needs class at a secondary special school. Within special, I used it with accompanying sensory stimuli. The poem guides you through what sensory things you need and I have incorporated all the senses. This lasted me half a term in both mainstream and special -loads you can do with it. Plus I even did a sensory assembly with it, which all the students loved.

The book introduces Callum who has lost some items beginning with C. Through the book, the children need to identify the items beginning with C from a choice of four each time by reading the words and from the visuals -real photos and pictures. I use this in a SEN school because the students take a lot more time learning each letter sound. This book was made for a student whose name begins with C to really focus on the initial sound in his name by seeing it lots, looking at pictures of things beginning with C and of course hearing it lots through the story.
