Having tried out different coloured papers for my dyslexic student to help him improve his handwriting, I found the handwriting improved markedly when I underlined lined paper in thick blue lines. So I made a new exercise book for his writing with this white writing paper with thick blue lines already drawn but thicker than commercial exercise books. This is proving really helpful to him. This writing paper is useful as a line guide under plain paper for all students too. writing paper handwriting paper dyslexia dyslexic writing

These documents cover all the tracking you will need for Year 3, Year 4 , Year 5 and Year 6. You will be able to track the progress of children in Science using the objectives of the New National Curriculum for Science 2014. Key: - P = practising skill -E= at the expected standard or just shade in orange or green. - Skills for each year group are in a darker shade. -Prior knowledge is in a lighter shade Please leave a review. Thank you.

These pdf files can be printed to be able to track the progress of children in Science in each year group. Use the term P for Practising the skill, then E - for Expected standard of that skill- or just shade in orange or green. The Science skills for each year group are in a darker shade. Relevant skills for that unit that children would need to have embedded in previous years are also highlighted for the teacher ( in a lighter shade). This will make the teacher aware of what may need to be reinforced from previous years, or that skills that should be built upon and not necessarily repeated. Please leave a review. Thank you.

I made this resource to help my Year 5s practise their Reading Domain Skills during World Book Day. It uses the domains most common in the 2014 National Curriculum questions so it could easily be used for year 6 too. You will need the extract from Chapter 3 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J K Rowling. My version of the book is published in 2001 and the page references are 30-32. I have incorporated the answers too. Please leave me a comment and a review to inspire me to make more resources! Thank you. #reading domains #comprehension # harry potter #philosophers stone #year 5 #year6 #world book day #inference #deduction

I use this in my ten minutes afternoon maths slot. We have fun practising coordinates whilst playing the classic Battleships game. Print out the whole page initially when they are learning the rules. After that, just give them the right hand side grids only. Remember to point out to children that they need to mark the lines and not the spaces.

These forms are for children to reflect on their own learning as we begin revision through SATS practise papers. When the papers are marked ( either self/peer or teacher assessed), children will try to find where they have missed out whole questions, made silly errors, or do not know enough of a particular subject ( eg, coordinates, inferring or the subjunctive). The forms help the children see for themselves the number of marks they lost out on. In their reflection section, children could focus on next steps such as exam techniques, or revising certain topics. Each time they carry out a practise paper, they use this analysis form, and they should see their marks improve and the mistakes get less.
