A3 sized profile form which helps children collate information about themselves. I use it to help the children have a central place of reference for their personal information that they can use when writing their autobiography. Includes basic information, family tree section, interesting facts, favourites, important moments, inspirations and more. Also has a final section where they can jot down ideas about what and where they would like to be when they are 25 years old. The profile form is fully editable as DOC and also comes ready in PDF format.

This PowerPoint based activity is made up of 12 numbered tiles which when individually clicked on will reveal a question behind them. When a student or group gets the correct answer the question tile can then be removed to reveal a part of the picture hiding behind. It’s perfect for Book Day or even as a warmer for a reading lesson. All the questions relate famous children’s books. Please take a look at the previews to see the questions. The game is fully editable, so with a few clicks, (instructions in the PowerPoint), you can change the content as you please and use it for any question from any topic you like! I usually split the class up into teams for this and let them have one collected guess at the picture if they answer a question correctly. The first team to correctly state what book the picture is about, are the winners.

This worksheet involves questions that relate to the text of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. The questions cover basic recall and then move onto more advanced comprehension skills such as inference. The final section leaves a space for the children to attempt to draw the Storm Unicorn based on the details of the report. It encourages children to think flexibly and relates the plight of the unicorn with that of rhino’s. It also opens up a wealth of discussion surrounding that point too. I usually use this after the children have read, mapped and analysed the report in detail first. It acts a good gauge for their understanding. *The document is fully editable so you can change questions as you please. *

Print duplex on the short side, cut out and laminate for best result. *

This worksheet contains a short biography on the life of Amelia Earhart who we study about in our flight unit. The mistakes cover both spelling and punctuation problems as well as grammar issues. The final section involves a word search puzzle with key words from the text. The children take on the roles of a teacher in this exercise as they attempt to find as many mistakes in the biography as they can. They are also encouraged to make corrections. Try and big up the role reversal aspect with some acting for greater engagement in the activity. Children also enjoy using highlighters or red pens for this.

A set of three wheels that have a rotating arrow which starts spinning when you click and stops when you click again. It can be used for selecting random students as well as letters and numbers. Each spinning wheel is fully editable in Microsoft Powerpoint, so you can add in your own names or other criteria for selecting randomly. The children love it and I usually ask one of them to say when to stop the spin.

A four slide presentation containing a variety of pictures and symbols to map out the story of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. After familiarising themselves with the text, children should be able to re-read the story using only the story map. It makes for an interesting challenge.

This worksheet is made up of 10 comprehension questions and a bonus, covering a wide range of reading skills. It is for the book, Flat Stanley - The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery. Each question is based on a different chapter. The chapter numbers are given in brackets afterwards to make it slightly easier. Children will have had to have read the book, but ideally have s to it to be able to refer to and answer the questions as best they can. This is quite a tricky comprehension for my Year 3 level, so it would be more suitable for Year 4-6. The worksheet is also designed to be easily used as a Google Doc so children can type their answers online. Last time I used it in Google Classroom where each child gets their own copy of the document to work on.

This fully editable board game adds fun for children who are learning to read. For this package, I’ve split it into two games. The first is a set of CVCC words and the second is a set of CCVC words. There are 21 spaces in which you can add any word you wish for children to practice reading. The board game is also A3 size so the words are easy to see. The idea is that 2-4 children take turns rolling the dice. If they are able to read the word that they land on then they can remain there, if not then they move back to where they just were before they rolled. This is one of my personal favourite resources, not just because both I and the children love it, but also because you can enter in any word set you like. I even play this with my son and it really encourages him to focus on pronouncing the words as perfectly as he possibly can.

Poem about water to compliment our connected unit topic called, ‘Water World’ in which we cover poetry in literacy. It serves as a simple example for the children to understand the rhyming patterns before creating their own.

This worksheet is made up of 2 editable tables set out in the pattern of a spiral shaped snake.

We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text. This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Candy Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation. There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.

This worksheet involves putting the pictures from Flat Stanley - The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery in the correct order. It is meant to be used as an online activity using Google Slides or equivalent. Children can then easily move around the picture slides to put them in the correct order. Of course, it could be printed off and then children could manually move the pictures into order. On Google Slides, if you use Grid View, you can see most of the slides on one page which makes for ordering them easier than using the side bar.
