EYFS Reading Records - Individual Tracking Sheet linked to Development Matters

(0)
A one page Reading Record for Reception aged pupils, featuring the ‘Development Matters’ reading statements for 30-50 months, 40-60 months and the Early Learning Goal. There is space for teacher comments and logging the dates and books read each week. In my Reception class we have a reading folder for the whole class. Every child gets one of these sheets either half-termly or termly, to document their progression and to support assessment. Practitioners write comments by the side and date when steps are achieved. Having the Development Matters statements easily to hand helps prompt practitioners to further children’s learning and plan for their ‘next steps’.

Letter Formation Videos - Powerpoint

Letter Formation Videos - Powerpoint

(0)
These Powerpoint files contain videos for each letter in the alphabet, modelling how to form those letters correctly. You will receive two Powerpoint files - one where each letter is modelled by a real hand, handwriting, and the other where the letter formation is animated. We have found these videos incredibly useful within both Phonics and Handwriting sessions, as they allow students to view a continuous loop of correct letter formation when practising themselves. You may either use the Powerpoints as standalone sessions - viewed in Slideshow mode, the first slide allows you to click on which letter you would like to practise, and you are then taken to the slide for that letter where the video is looped for pupils to copy. Alternatively, if teaching a specific letter in a Phonics session, you could add the video file to your own Powerpoint and play the formation as and when is appropriate for your class. Please note that both Powerpoints contain two versions for the letters ‘k’ and ‘f’ - looped and unlooped/straight and curved. Simply move forward to the next slide to use the one relevant to your setting.

Talk Homework - Editable Template

(0)
We have used Talk Homework in my Early Years setting with great success. We send home this template each week with a different question for parents to discuss with their children. Questions may be related to something we have done in class that week, gathering prior knowledge for a new topic or an opportunity to discuss life at home. For example, “We made pancakes in class this week! Can your child tell you how/why we made them? Can they tell you about any other special occasions that people celebrate?” The template features a graphic outlining the ‘rules’ of Talk Homework for parents - e.g. turn off the TV, write down exactly what your child says, give them thinking time etc. It includes an editable text box for your own questions, and further space for parents to write down their child’s response.
