Mr C's Keep It Simple Resources

Average Rating2.00
(based on 1 reviews)

One of the hardest elements of teaching can be finding good quality resources that don't overcomplicate what you are teaching. I am all about breaking down resources into small steps so children understand whilst also appreciating teachers don't need too much or overcomplicated material to deliver their lessons. A range of tried and tested English, maths and wider curriculum resources focused on Years 4, 5 and 6. High quality resources from an experienced primary teacher.

Editing and Improving Writing Worksheet

(0)
A worksheet resource made for editing and then improving writing. The shirt paragraph on this sheet has spelling errors, missing punctuation and incorrect sentence structure. A period of the lesson is spent editing section 1, and going through on the board on the PDF copy. Children can then re-write the paragraph below applying a range of sentence openers, improved vocabulary and the correct punctuation. This is a very simple resource which has been very effective in between extended writes. Lots of discussion around spellings and sentence structure which has then lead into the children’s long write. Simple to use for teachers.
