A collection of 20 landscape and nature photographs which can be used as anything from initial input in literacy to a stimulus for creative writing. Or how about as inspiration for an art lesson? The choice is yours. All photos taken by me.

This phonics snakes and ladders game helps reinforce phonic knowledge. Played just like normal snakes and ladders except players need to identify the sound they land on and, for extra credit, give a word which contains that sound. Includes 8 different versions of the snakes and ladders board, 2 boards with no snakes or ladders, an empty board to add your own sounds to and 'cut out' snakes and ladders.

A personal reflection on my first year as a supply teacher.
