This is a comprehensive, effective and fun spelling programme, which covers a wide variety of spelling rules. The programme complements English Mastery as, rather than prompting the student to memorise words, each set of exercises promotes understanding of a spelling rule and gives many opportunities to put it into practice. The pdf prints out as 9 individual booklets, with the first 8 each having 3 sections (covering spelling conventions including soft ‘c’ and soft ‘g’, short vowel doubling, prefixes, suffixes etc) and the final booklet is for revision/testing. Each section takes about 15-20 minutes to complete making it ideal for a lesson starter or intervention during tutor time.

A colourful board game for the GCSE English Literature text, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. 2-4 players. If a player lands on a question square (and there are plenty of them) they have to give a correct answer or miss a turn. Questions are based on events, characters, quotations and themes. I created the game for my middle set Year 11s but it has also entertained and tested Year 9s and 10s of all abilities. Includes a game board, 40 question cards, playing pieces and the answers. Prints out to A3 (on print menu tick the box “choose paper source by pdf page size”).
