Included
- Year 2 to Year 6 ambitious word coverage week by week (138 per year group over the year, or 3/4 a week)
- Matching PPT for each year group
- Matching printable resource for each year groups (in Publisher and PDF form)
Hi there,
I've included 2 weeks of planning and 1 PPT with most of the texts we used on it.
We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat.
These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar as a starting point.
Hope it helps :)
I've typed up a variety of simple sentences without full stops. There is then a range of connective cards. The children pick a sentence and a connective and have to extend the sentence with it.
There are so many homophones but these are the ones linked to the statutory spellings lists. (The words in red on the resource)
Homophones that are linked to Y1/Y2 (highlighted red)
To/too/two
Be/bee
No/know
One/won
By/buy/bye
Here/hear
There/their/they’re
Where/wear
Our/hour
Poor/pour
Whole/hole
Great/grate
Break/brake
Eye/I
Homophones that are linked to Y3/Y4 (highlighted red)
Eight/ate
Heard/herd
Reign/rein/rain
Weight/wait
This planning has been produced primarily for my own personal use (so there will be mistakes) and I’ll be using it in the classroom myself in future.
Each week of Shared Reading planning includes:
planning document
PPT with the shared reading text/to share whole class
shared reading questions ready to print
shared reading text ready to print.
The way we do shared reading is through one text which ALL children share and engage with. It’s the same text throughout the week. Sometimes the same story follows on for a few weeks/half term but over the year there is a variety of texts.
We spend the first 15 minutes on the No Nonsense spelling scheme which is separate to this plan but your school might be interested in using.
Skill focuses over the week
Monday - vocabulary, word building, retrieval and recording
Tuesday - inference
Wednesday - Summarising
Thursday - Explain & justify / or author’s choices
Hope you find it useful!

I've uploaded 8 shared reading texts (from the same book - The alchemist) and comprehension questions to match.
We've been using these in a Year 3 class (1 text over 2 days. Day 1 acting it out and focusing on new vocab, day 2 on the questions) as we're having a big push on vocabulary given the area we work in.
However, I shared these with a Year 6 teacher and they've also used them 1 per session with their class and with greater independence.
These are seriously challenging texts and will get you thinking too!
- the more challenging vocab is highlighted in red.
- some of the texts have a warm up in purple above the text.
- I've also put how I want them to begin answering the questions in blue for support (seeing as I used it in Y3 )
This is taken from the first 2 chapters of the book and we are continuing to use this text next half term so will upload more then.
I've used PIRA stem question starts for the comprehension questions (given it's a tricky text, there may be one than 1 answer or will depend on how the children explain their answers)
Hope these help!
Hi there,
I've included 2 weeks of planning and most of the resources for documentary texts. We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat.
These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar.

Hi there,
I thought I'd update a set of book labels I made for our school to keep consistency. Each class has an animal name and picture as you will see, each of these is easily changed. We print these onto labels (standard 4 to one A4 sheet) to make it easier to stick onto books.
There are 4 boxes in the bottom left, we use these to colour code books and identify for Pupil Premium, SEN, EAL and slow movers. This makes it easier for books scrutiny's but also mean the children won't know what they mean.
Hope it helps somebody looking for a whole school theme!
I use this as warm ups or when I have a free 5 minutes. I get the children to self-mark, create their own and then set their friends challenges.
Great for recapping key skills regularly without additional work load.

I’ve collected together all the materials used for all the past phonics screening checks - 2012 being the first year it was implemented. I thought I would upload them to save others to trouble.
