Literacy Students have to correct the sentences by putting in the missing capital letters. Feel free to jazz it up! *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy Homophones Powerpoint for a KS3 SEN lesson.

Literacy Film Review Planning - this sheet was used as a framework for students with SEN to make notes on during and after watching a film. Sentence starters are included to help them. Film Review Checklist - the students then typed up their reviews using the framework. They were each given a checklist/task list to tick off as they worked to help them focus on what was important. Also useful for differentiating within a mainstream lesson.

Literacy. This sheet was made for Key Stage 3 Literacy classes to help them to proof read. Some students will be able to recognise that certain things are wrong. Some will be able to correct the mistakes. *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy Students have to sort the words into the categories of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs using a key and then write their own sentences. Used for KS3 SEN.

Literacy An on the board starter and a reading comprehension task based on the topic Holidays and Writing to Persuade or Advertise for an SEN KS3 class but could be adapted for others. The lesson before, students research different holidays. Here they learn what a holiday advert looks like before designing their own. Useful for Literacy classes or Entry Level / Step Up to English. Feel free to jazz it up! *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy A lesson I used for an SEN KS3 Literacy class on how to use commas. Feel free to jazz it up.

Literacy The lesson (KS3 SEN) focused on being able to write instructions using imperative verbs or bossy verbs! The starter quiz (uploaded on PDF) is NOT my own but I have uploaded it as that is what I used as a starter. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy This is a nice and easy alphabet game that everyone can take part in. I usually allow them to play in pairs. The aim is to fill in the category columns with an answer for each letter. For example for girls' names you might have Annie, Becky, Charlotte etc. I also use it to reinforce the use of capital letters for names etc. It also introduces an element of competition if you would like to use it that way. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy A worksheet created to help my KS3 SEN class understand metaphors. It involves giving the meaning and drawing a literal visual picture, getting harder as it goes along. *If you use this resource, I would be grateful if you left a review and let me know how it went. Thank you!*

Literacy Some story titles to act as prompts when doing free creative writing.

Literacy Writing to inform and advice. This lesson was created for a KS3 SEN Literacy group, introducing them to the concepts of information and advice, enabling them to spot the difference and then write their own piece of information and advice writing. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy Simply pictures of tattoos with mistakes in! Helps the students to see that other people make mistakes too and gives them 'real life' examples to correct.

Literacy An A5 worksheet (cut in half) for students to create a visual to remember homophones. I gave each student in the class a different pair of homophones and they had to draw each one and also write a sentence for each one. If you wanted each student to have a complete set you could then photocopy them. This was successful because it allowed my weak writers to understand the concept without having to do lots of writing. A5 is also easier/neater for their books!

Literacy Useful for SEN. I print these out and cut up or laminate for students who have trouble recognising capital letter mistakes that they have made in their work. In Literacy, I have cut the strips up and stuck one in every margin of specific exercise books to serve as a reminder. Some students repeatedly put capital letters in the middle of words, for example, and on investigation I found that some of them didn't know what the lower case letter looked like.

Literacy I have used this prompt card to stick in the front of exercise books for lower sets/SEN. You could also laminate the card, punch a hole in it, and tie it with a piece of string into a student's planner so it is visible in every lesson and can be used as a tool to check over the basics in every piece of work. Have you used capital letters correctly? Have you used punctuation correctly? I find the MINTS acronym to be helpful for capital letters.

Literacy A guideline for students to follow while doing a research task. This can then act as a basis for a further lesson on advertising holidays, or as a speaking and listening task - for example, for Entry Level or Step Up to English. It gives them some structure for learning computer room research skills.

Literacy This lesson had the objective of recognising the difference between facts and opinion. It should be quite self-explanatory on the powerpoint itself. In one lesson I used stand up/sit down for a fact/opinion. In another lesson where this would have been too disruptive, I handed out two different coloured cards and they held up the appropriate one. This would also be appropriate for Entry Level/Step Up to English. Feel free to jazz it up!

Literacy I prepared this worksheet to help staff navigate through the Clicker 6 software. I laminated the sheets double sided so that they could also be given to new support staff. Obviously the part about saving a Clicker 6 set will be particular to the school, so feel free to edit that. Hope you find it helpful.

Literacy For a quick lesson or to give some inspiration for writing a longer piece, here are 20 ideas that could spark the imagination. Best used for descriptive writing.
