christmas-words A 99 slide PowerPoint lesson that encourages students to read Christmas-theme words and sentences. Students are encouraged to say the sounds and blend them to read the word accurately. This also includes spelling and writing tasks. Look at the picture and write the word. Click the mouse (or space bar) and the word appears. Finally, look at the picture and generate your own sentence. Alternatively, the teacher can say a sentence (just like phonic dictation) and the students can write it.
christmas-words-and-phrases includes;
99 slides (includes cover pages)
reading at a word level (digraphs, trigraphs, quadgraphs and dipthongs are underlined)
you may wish to ask students to read one syllable part at a time
reading at a sentence level
The reading component includes a picture when you press a button to see if the word has been read accurately
this activity is great for students who have vocabulary difficulties and do not relate the word to the picture!
for the spelling tasks, students look at the picture (say the sounds in their head) and write the word. When you press a key on your keyboard, a word will appear
for writing a sentence - look at the picture and students can write a sentence on their whiteboards or in their writing books
alternatively, just do it as a dictation activity
you can use this lesson daily over a two or three week period leading up to Christmas as a great warm-up lesson

the-ladybird-who-heard An interactive PowerPoint SHOW that students play in the form of a search and reveal. Questions to be used for the story ‘What the ladybird heard’ by Julia Donaldson.
Comprehension questions are given and students press the star to reveal the answers. When the student has seen the three answers to choose from, they press the correct answer button. Correct answers lead them to the next question. Incorrect questions take them back to read the question again.
This is a nice game to play with the whole class to check for understanding. Also, a great exit game. I have tried this with my own Year One class and they have loved playing this. You can extend the questions by asking students to explain why they selected their answers.
Includes:
20 comprehension questions (direct and indirect).
