UPDATED FOR 2018 TEACHER ASSESSMENT EXEMPLIFICATION These are margin sized checklists for children to include various Year 2 writing skills into any piece of writing. The children can tick off each one as they include them into letters, fact files, diary entries, etc. They can be suited to almost any type of writing and ensure that children evidence the essential skills needed to show Expected Standard or Greater Depth for end of KS1 assessment. I’ve represented each skill with a symbol or words such as ‘bright, spotty butterfly’ for adjectives / an expanded noun phrase. There are examples of coordination/ subordination to include, tricky words, contractions, etc. The Greater Depth margin is differentiated by including joins, Year 2 suffixes and all of the punctuation taught so far inc possessive apostrophes. This is a great resource that has pushed my class to show more skills within their writing and they really enjoy ticking each thing off with whiteboard pens. Just print, laminate, cut and enjoy!

This is a range of 16 different activities that I have used with my year 2 class to gain evidence of reading and understanding tasks, to take for reading moderations. These tasks have been planned with the Teacher Assessment Framework in mind for KS1. The tasks are all editable and can be adjusted to fit any other fiction / non fiction text or poem. **This will give you evidence of: ** word reading - suffixes and common exception words understanding characters answering questions about a text making predictions and inferences based on what is being said or done explaining what has happened so far in a text interpreting poetry writing their own versions of poetry using instructions to make their own information leaflet Some of these can also secure evidence for Greater Depth.
