These are a great bundle of resources, focusing on the sounds of CVC words. Find the initial sounds, the middle sounds and the end sounds, encouraging children to really listen to the sounds in the words. CVC read and copy supports reading and writing, sounding out and blending the word and forming letters to copy the word, looking and letter and word shapes. CVC sound and spell activity is an extension activity which encourages children to look at the picture and say what they can see, sounding out the word for spelling.

This is a brilliant, engaging game for young learners. Remember the game of writing a word and folding your paper over then passing to a partner to write the next part? Or is that just me? This is a similar game to that (instructions are included). This game has been tried and tested with many children, children in Year 1, Year 2 and children higher up in KS2 who find sentence building difficult. After playing this game a few times, the pieces begin to fit together. Why make it difficult? Putting the love in learning, we put the children at the centre of everything we create…

These are great sheets which I have used with a range of learners, including learners with Special Educational Needs who were not able to write. They signed/verbalised their caption for an adult to write down word for word. A great assessment tool for all learners to show their level of understanding. Can also be used for children to write their own captions for EYFS, KS1 and KS2. A fabulous resource to inspire creative writing and thoughts.

These lovely bingo games one of fruit and one of classroom objects allow children to match pictures and numerals upto 6. Great for children just learning to count in EYFS and children with Special Educational Needs.

This is a gorgeous presentation, which creates a high level of engagement, motivation and participation from children. Encouraging child interaction throughout.

Also included are domino type loop cards of more/less and worksheets which allow children to draw dots to show their understanding of one more/one less if number formation isn’t possible. Putting the love back in learning, enthusing children to thrive!

This is a lovely activity focusing on sports objects. Learners who are beginning with counting who find writing and forming shapes a challenge with Special Educational Needs, can access this resource to assess their knowledge and understanding. By counting the objects and recording using dots or dashes in the space provided, it allows learners to evidence and evaluate their answers. A great tool to promote independence and maths recording of children with difficulties in this area.

This is a fabulous activity for early learners as part of the Technology Understanding the World topic. 7 sheets each with 4 activities, total of 28 cards for children to go out and explore, taking photographs of the things they have been asked to find on the cards (using cameras or IPad’s.

This powerpoint also presents an extra challenge asking children how the value of that coin can be made using ones. A UK coin & note recognition poster is also available and money comparison activities up to 20p and £1, making the same amounts using different coins to those given in the examples. A great bundle of money activities for KS1.

This is a great activity to do with learners on their return from the summer holidays, when starting in a new class. It is also a great speaking and listening activity. Print out on card or laminate them, cut them out and let the children ask away in their groups or pairs. All the questions are the types that children can relate to, allowing them to find out about each other.

This is a fantastic interactive display which has been designed for use in Year 2 or Year 3, but it could be used in other groups where a range of vocabulary is not widely used in writing. The idea of this display activity is to be used on a board at child height, allowing them to select a word from the relevant treasure box during their writing, taking it to their desk to support spelling. This has been trialled in a Year 2 class and it worked brilliantly well. This download includes all the treasure boxes with word cards, the diamond images and all the display letters, all to be printed and laminated to get the greatest effect.

This is a gorgeous Lion King Themed child well being display. Featuring seven key words to help children to recognise how to get along with others and be happier.

The backgrounds of the sunset would need to be made using poster paper/tissue paper etc. A stunning display to enhance any classroom.

This is a great selection of resources to support learners in KS1 with comprehension. Focusing on the topic of Traditional Tales, this collection has a story of Ben and the Sunflower, this is a different take on the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Children can watch the story on a powerpoint presentation, because this is so visual it helps them to relate to the story and discussions can be had whilst reading the story to a group of children. There are different levels of comprehensions available to download in this pack, which allow children to answer questions all about the story they have just observed. Each comprehension is designed to suit the different levels and needs of children so there are 3 to choose from and a story sequencing activity. Other traditional story powerpoints and comprehensions (with a difference) are available to download separately from TES and from our website applefortheteacher.co.uk.
