I created these texts to support children when introducing them to guided reading. They are texts based around book bands pink - blue. I would share these in a group - maybe give them a page each or create mini booklets and then after the guided session would display these books/ posters in the provision to encourage independent reading. There are books on space, pets, winter and adding up. Please use this template also to create your own!!

I created these to support children with the tricky sounds with pseudo words. Children take these pseudo word cards home to practise and I have also created matching games with these cards. Please reuse this template to change the sounds/words too!!

A collection of phoneme frames to support the teaching of alternative spellings for sounds mid way through Phase 5. Over 20 resources

Word mat to support vocabulary from the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and to help children with their independent learning.

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.

This includes a lesson and teaching powerpoint that can be adapted to develop reasoning skills too. I used this over a few days to ensure understanding.

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

I have included poetry units, stories such as Goldilocks and How the Tortoise got its shell as well as non fiction units such as Where does our breakfast come from?

These are termly spelling assessments that cover the whole curriculum. You can score each area to see strengths and weaknesses for each child and for the whole class. This is a really informative assessment and I made these after searching for a scheme that produced a straight forward assessment and couldn't find it!

Great introductory activities to the language of subtraction with Year 1 - less, least, fewer etc

Contained in this bundle are guided reading bookmarks for the reading skills needed across KS1, an editable word mat to use with your guided reading books to pick out new words to decode and new vocabulary. I have also included the presentation that I used to present these ideas to my staff at school. The word mats can also be used as an assessment and evidence tool towards to assessment criteria at the end of KS1. I have included some example word mats too. Each group had a set of bookmarks so they knew which skill they were working on in each session.

Covers most of the teaching in Phase 4 !!

This bundle includes an overview plan of the unit and learning objectives covered and also resources for each day including report texts on fire engines and police. I have included the word mats and glossaries which were very useful especially for my EAL children.

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.

2 week unit including text, overview of learning objectives, 2 weeks of planning and self assessment for children. Also included powerpoints for other teaching points and activities related to this and support documents and word mats.

This is a performance poetry unit for Year 1 over a week. It includes the poem, word mat and resources and planning for the week. Such a fun poem to perform!!

I have created these phoneme frames with pictures to support the phonemes in Phase 5. Children can then work independently using the pictures to work out what spelling is needed. These worksheets were a great introduction to a new sound.

This is a comprehensive unit with resources and word mat and two powerpoints - one for writing focusses and one for shared reading. Includes 3 SPAG lessons too.

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.
