To support spelling in all writing, I made these mats based on the 100 and 200 HFW lists. I took out the words that my class can spell then sorted them into alphabetical order. There are two versions of the mat - one with each letter in coloured blocks and one plain for printing onto coloured paper. All in Sassoon Primary font.

Full text with all punctuation, followed by copy of same text without punctuation or capitals. Revised version uploaded 4th June, with a typo corrected!

A different way to present book reviews - looks great on display. The templates of bread (cover details), tomatoes (what the story is about), lettuce (setting), cheese (characters), ham (favourite part) and more bread (overall recommendation) can be copied onto suitably coloured paper, or your pupils could colour the outer edges with pencils. Staple it all together at the top of the crust to make your sandwich and display. Next time someone is hungry for a book, they can grab a review. Publisher - Fully editable, in Sassoon Primary font. PDF now added for those without Publisher.

<p>A selection of poems about books; stories and reading; formatted into columns with clipart ready to print out and cut into strips for bookmarks. Either print onto stiff card; or onto paper then laminate. Use to motivate reluctant readers or sell at the school fete! students can personalize the other side; or print two poems back to back. Pale colored paper/card works very well too.</p>

Created to remind my class about their most common spelling, grammar and homophone issues. Laminated and kept in their desk toolbox. Lists of their errors, common words starting with w, suffix rules, spelling strategies, and all sorts of other bits. Fully editable for your class. There are 2 pages - one colourful and one very plain. UPDATE - PDF version now added in response to feedback.

I heard these fun mnemonics but I couldn't find posters of them, so I made my own using images found online.\n\nPeople Eat Omelettes, People Like Eggs. \n\nWould Old Uncle Like Dancing? Could Old Uncle Like Dancing? SHould Old Uncle Like Dancing?\n\nUPDATE - Colour Of Light Opened Up Rainbows (just added)\n\nUPDATE - Original files are in Sassoon Primary. Now added Comic Sans version in case Sassoon does not display correctly.

A huge list of synonyms compiled from various sources. Ran, walked, looked, heard, good, nice, beautiful, shiny, hot, cold, big, small, loud, quiet, fast, slow, bad, sad, happy, thought, held, funny, clever, very, quite and lots of different colours plus more than 200 for said! Formatted two columns per page, in Sassoon Primary. Could print as wordbanks or to display. I'm printing them on yellow card and cutting them into 'chips' to display in red card chip packets. UPDATE - A colleague improved on the idea by printing the words on different coloured paper. It stops them getting mixed up :-)

A booklet where each pupil can keep a list of their common spellings or create their own wordbank. Pages in alphabetical order (OK, I cheated and used “ex” for x!). Some very common tricky words are already included. Back cover has some spelling tips. Fully editable to suit your class. Recently updated to Twinkl font - may need adjusting if you use a different font. Print it using the “Booklet” setting, then just fold in half to make an a5 book for each child. Each page is decorated with a bit of suitable clipart or text to make it engaging.
