This is a great resource that I have used for years. I use it to check that children are on the correct book band. These books are from reading schemes such as Bug Club and Collins Big Cat. They do have the old national curriculum levels on them but book bands have not changed since the change of curriculum so still relevant now. I then track my children on a book band tracker which I have attached to this bundle too.

KS1 reading comprehension about Handa’s Surprise. I have used this during a unit of work on Handa’s Surprise and also as part of guided reading sessions

This bundle contains planning, resources, imitation text, invention text and teaching points as well as word mats etc

This is a two week unit plan aimed at FS/Year 1 class. It has resources linked to the planning attached. I have also added art and DT ideas too.

This is a three week unit on Jack and the Beanstalk based loosely on the talk for writing objectives too. It includes work on story mountains, grammar work and vocabulary. Any questions please ask

This resource includes a simplified version of the text covering the four seasons so children can learn the story out loud, planning and also a word mat for vocabulary and spelling.

Adapted text for writing unit - aimed at Year 2 but could easily be adapted for another year group.

Differentiated activities with picture clues and sentence openers to support writing the story How the Tortoise got its Shell.

This is planning for a 3 week unit and the accompanying text. A word mat with vocabulary linked to Jack and the Beanstalk - handy when they are trying to write the story independently.

I created these to have an author focus every fortnight in our reading area. The authors include Clare Freedman, Jill Murphy, Martin Waddell, Mick Inkpen, Oliver Jeffers, Sue Hendra.

These resources are based around the book “Monstersaurus”. I created instructions that Year 1 children can read using their phonic knowledge and then also created their own instructions too.

Termly word reading assessment which covers all the different words children should be able to read by the end of Year 2. I did these assessments on a termly basis and scored each area to show strengths and next teaching points across the cohort. Also great to show impact on reading interventions that you may do!

These activities cover all the different alternative spellings taught in Phase 5 e.g n/kn, s/se, wr/r

Used as an introduction to African animals. Children then used this information to write their own extended sentences about animals. They then went on to create fact files for an information leaflet.

Word problems for children to use - plus i have included large visuals that you can print of to demonstrate the problems practically.

Great for creative writing - based on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and great to show how to sequence a tale and write creatively.

I have created this intervention for KS1 classes for a group intervention. This is designed for children who have gaps in Phase 3 spelling skills. Look out for my Phase 5 version too! This is a whole terms intervention and I have seen amazing results from using these plans with small groups of children. I suggest doing a phase 3 spelling test and then picking the plans suited to the group to tailor the intervention.

Great powerpoint as a starter to a topic on winter or use for a Geography topic on seasonal changes/weather.

Created a simple worksheet for children to map the story of Rosie’s Walk
