Are your children finding it difficult to think of creative adjectives to include in their writing? Do you find it hard to find time to teach synonyms for common words like big, small, happy, good, yummy?

This free word bank is perfect for an ongoing working wall. Pupils can add their own words when you learn/teach new vocabulary, you can swap out words depending on the relevance or key stage and you can keep your display up all year round! This display is influenced by the book ‘Banish Boring Words’ by Leilen Shelton which you can find online. Pupils in my class love to shout, ‘BANISH BORING WORDS’ when we find a new synonym for a word on the wall. All you need to do is laminate some white A3/A4 sheets of paper to allow you a space to use a whiteboard marker to record the vocabulary.

Sharing these stepping stones I made for my Year 1 classroom. I stuck them on the floor just outside the door and leading up to their coat pegs. Every time the pupils enter the classroom, they must step on the stone and say the sound. If they are unsure of the sound, the teacher or TA would say it for them and ask them to repeat it back to pass to the next stone. They really enjoyed the movement activity and were able to continually practice their sounds. Linked to Read Write Inc.
