I made this for a specific pupil and thought it might help another pupil with a similar confusion. It’s not exciting, just three fill the blank exercises, but it helped to reinforce the difference between the two words.

Another resource I made for a pupil who kept confusing these two words. It’s a very simple, unexciting fill-the -gaps exercise to reinforce the difference between whole & hole. It may help another similarly confused child!

I used lots of the brilliant Barrington Stokes books for upper KS2 & KS3 (& even sometimes KS4) students who were reluctant readers when I was tutoring. The books have a good story, simple vocabulary and manage to engage with even the most disaffected. I often made simple comprehension exercises, which I have decided to share in case they are of use to anyone else…it took a long time to read and prepare questions for all the books I had! This one is rather ‘girly’, but incredibly popular, written, as it is, by Karen McCombie. Some students progressed to her longer books after reading a few of these simplified texts.

These are for new Year 7 classes: Two vocabulary exercises. One matches pairs of words with similar meanings, like ‘class’ & ‘form’; one matches an English school word with its American equivalent, like ‘caretaker’ & ‘janitor’ .

It’s a grid with phrases like, ‘supports a football team’ or ‘enjoys cooking’. Each student has to find a person for whom the phrase applies. This person has to sign the appropriate square. Of course, the phrases can be changed to suit the class or school, this is an old one of mine.
