Doing a back-to-basics week with my lot, going over VCOP thoroughly! 1 weeks plans, all the worksheets for the week (differentiated), and a big Notebook document with the week's worth of explanations and examples. Loads of files here, let me know if anything isn&'t downloading right!

Print double sided (long ways) and it should be the right way up. Phases 2-5 covered. Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5

An example template for the IWB and templates for the children (can be used as an insert in an apology card). The higher ability children did not need a template and wrote directly into their card.

A short story featuring words in the 'ear' word family for children to identify. Notebook document - there are 2 pages, one is a bit nicer but some people find it tricky to read, hence the plain version. Best used with the highlight tool.

The first page of the Notebook file shows the importance of answering questions in full. Move the orange bar to discover the answer. The second page is a section from The Three Little Pigs minus any punctuation.

I used this as a short activity for a Year 3 class but it can be adapted to suit most classes. The Word document contains alliterative words to distribute to the children for the activity, which can then be shared using the Notebook document. Further details of how we used this resource is included in the Text document.
