What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one ‘household words’ (nouns) word search (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners with reading ‘high frequency’ key words. Knowing these common ‘household words’ - both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings will benefit both reading and writing. This word search makes the spellings clear, there are x24 words to find - a lot ! Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The household words have been organised into four groups of six, clearly showing all hidden question words below the word search. As said, there are x24 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Words to find are; ball, bath, clothes, boat, river, water, car, chair, table, grass, plant, tree, box, hat, home, key, money, bed, book, door, school, shoes and window. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this good way to motivate pupils to read words and while engaging in the activity learners are encouraged to focus on the spellings as they really think about the order of which letter follows which within each ‘household’ word especially as they try to track words which are hidden backwards or diagonally within the word search! This word search can make a good use of time as a follow on activity for early finishers. Word searches can be an engaging homework task, useful in supporting reading, spelling and writing. I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the (colour-coded) answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2). The wordsearch letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The black and white version of this word search is also available. This version uses x4 colours - red, yellow, green and blue. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often include the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). Resource layout The twenty number name words have been organised into four (colour) groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions). Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused, or this black and white version is a good version for photocopying. This word search is also available in black and white and an additional version (also in colour) includes the matching numeral (for each number name word) to also find. These versions are also available in my TES shop. Useful for… I find word searches like this good for a range of uses including as an introduction to a topic, follow on activity for early finishers, a related fun approach to a topic themed focus and as an engaging homework task, useful in supporting reading, spelling and maths.

What’s included? This download includes x7 resources (each a single A4 sheet), all portrait orientation, in pdf format. Each resource features ten robots and ten recap questions, these are both black and white AND rainbow versions. The robots and questions are both in order and random order - you choose - depending on what best suits the needs of your learner/s. The pdf’s included are as follows: List Robot doubles to 10 (Black and white) in order with questions (also in order) List Robot doubles to 10 (Black and white) in order with questions (in random order) List Robot doubles to 10 (Black and white) in random order with questions (in random order) List Robot doubles to 10 (grey robot with rainbow buttons and rainbow question boxes) in order with rainbow questions (in order) List Robot doubles to 10 (grey robot with rainbow buttons and rainbow question boxes) in order with rainbow questions (in random order) List Robot doubles to 10 (rainbow robots and rainbow question boxes) in order with questions (in order) List Robot doubles to 10 (rainbow robots and rainbow question boxes) in random order with rainbow questions (in random order) Who’s it for? These sweet ‘doubles resources’ have been carefully designed for early years and pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. Resource layout This download includes x7 separate sheets, all portrait orientation in pdf format. Each resource features ten robots and ten recap questions. Each robot’s chest clearly shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order/random order up to 10. Learners can complete the other half of each double (by drawing ‘dots’ e.g. with a thick felt pen onto the space on the right side of each robot’s chest) and write the total number (of dots) on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The x10 recap questions at the end enable learners to consolidate their ‘doubles knowledge’. Size 16/17 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the text e.g. ‘Double 2 is …’ easy to read and clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 10 to young learners. The different designs in order/random order can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 10. Recommendations I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘doubling numbers to 10’ practically before recording their learning. Physically using coloured lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin.

What’s included? This download includes two black and white versions of number lines to 20. Each page shows four ‘zero to twenty’ number lines one with vertical black counting tracks (above), one without - both in landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? These simple number lines to 20 have been carefully designed for pupils in years one and two as well as early years children and students needing additional learning support. Resource layout There are x4 number lines from 0 - 20 on each page with plenty of space between each number line. The numbers on these number lines are size 15 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. These simple number lines (with/without vertical counting tracks) can be used in a variety of ways though primarily to model/practise counting on and back to 20 from zero, knowing which number comes before/next or is one more/one less and are ideal to practise counting with ‘jumps’ to add and subtract numbers within 20. The landscape format provides optimal space for drawing ‘jumps’ between numbers to track counting on and back both above and below each number line. Recommendations Different numbers could be covered to encourage learners to identify which number comes before/next. The black text makes this resource easy to photocopy. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

Who’s it for? These ‘number bonds’ have been carefully designed for early years and pupils as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed around ‘moving vans - with moving boxes’ and ‘taxis’ with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage. Resource layout Page 1 In the upper section the learner is to match the number on each house window with the number on the 'moving house’ van - drawing a line (from the ‘door handle’ dots on the house to the black dot on each moving van above the number) to connect each number bond pair which makes 5. In the lower section the learner is to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which - together - make a total of five. Page 2 Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) using a short (15cm ruler) to show accurate matching.

Each version includes three pages (x3 A4 sheets, landscape orientation) featuring twenty separate questions (in order from pages 1 to 3) plus x20 follow up/revision questions at the end (on page 3) also in order. Page 3 also includes two boxes on the right, to record the numbers which can/cannot be split equally into half to enable learners to clearly identify odd/even numbers as an opportunity for discussion. The words ‘odd’ and ‘even’ have not been included here. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource layout This resource enables learners to investigate each number from 1 to 20 to discover whether it can (or cannot!) be split/divided/shared equally into two. Starting at 1 each box visually shows that number of pencils with two sheets of paper positioned below. The learner can draw a line from one pencil to one sheet of paper (on the left) and the next pencil in the line to the second sheet of paper (on the right), continuing to do this one pencil at a time, shared either to the left or right sheet of paper in alternate order until there aren’t any more pencils available. Underneath the image of two 'sheets of paper’ is the written sentence Half of 1 is ___ for the learner to complete (for every number). The learner can write their finding on the line to complete the sentence. Where a number e.g. 1 cannot be split equally into half therefore the sentence - Half of 1 is ___ cannot be completed the learner can instead draw a line or cross in the space, such as ‘Half of 1 is X’. Lastly, the learner can circle either the tiny image of ‘tick’ / ‘cross’ to indicate whether that number can be split in half or not. The learner can then move onto investigating the next number. Recommendations I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘halving numbers to 20’ practically before recording their learning. Using physical coloured matchsticks or lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin! Small coloured matchsticks could be placed on top of the pencil images each time for a learner with good fine motor control. This resource may be printed and laminated to be reused, this black and white version is a good version for photocopying. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for ‘common colour words’ (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two and maybe the early years, as well as students needing additional learning support. This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners with reading key words. Knowing these common colour names both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings will benefit both reading and writing. This word search makes the spellings clear, there are x16 words to find and as a fun extension this word search includes x15 of the colours to find within the word search (with the exception of the ‘colour version’ of the word ‘rainbow’ which is not hidden). Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The common colour words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden colour words below the word search. As said, there are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards AND backwards). Words to find are; red, orange, yellow, cream, green, turquoise, blue, pink, purple, brown, grey, black, white, silver, gold and rainbow. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one ‘people words’ word search (page 1).

Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The people words have been organised into four groups of four (one group of five), clearly showing all hidden people words below the word search. As said, there are x17 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards). Words to find are; mummy, mother, daddy, father, man, boy, brother, girl, sister, parent, baby, grandma, grandad, people, children, friend and woman.

This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this good way to motivate pupils to read words and while engaging in the activity learners are encouraged to focus on the spellings as they really think about the order of which letter follows which within each ‘people’ word especially as they try to track words spelt backwards or diagonally within the word search! This word search can make a good use of time as a follow on activity for early finishers, linking to learning about ‘nouns’ for example. Word searches can be an engaging homework task, useful in supporting reading, spelling and writing. I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.
