Two worksheets where children can identify the features of a letter. The worksheet for the lower ability children has a word bank to aid them in labeling the features. The highest ability children could identify and colour the features of a letter then create their own key.

This template allows children to 'box up' a traditional tale in order to make their own story. They can clearly see the main parts of the story then substitute in their own ideas and add further details.

A sheet designed to help children remember the meanings of verbs, adjectives, nouns and adverbs, with examples.

A list of connectives to help children with their writing.

A planning sheet on which children can plan a persuasive letter to Willy Wonka. The idea is for children to persuade Mr Wonka to make their chocolate bar in his factory. This sheet breaks down the letter into different paragraphs that the children should use.

A sheet to help pupils remember 7 rules when completing reading comprehension activities.

Created while studying George's Marvellous Medicine in Year 3. I have included an example of a recipe for George's Marvellous Medicine and a blank template for children to write their own recipe. It makes nice display work.

Whilst studying the BFG, I got my class to make their own Frobscottle using lemonade, ice cream and green food colouring. They then wrote up their recipes using these templates.

A Story Mountain worksheet designed to help children plan stories with an opening, a build-up, a problem, a resolution and an ending. Also included on the sheet is a box for children to record any interesting vocabulary they plan to use in their story. e.g. adjectives, adverbs, similes, metaphors etc.

Sophie has gone missing from the orphanage. How will anybody find her? Ask the children in your class to write a character description. They can describe Sophie on this 'Missing Poster' using what they have found out from the first chapter or two of the BFG.

I have used this as a Literacy Starter in Year 3. I cut up the different parts of sentences and gave them out. Each child had to find a partner who would complete their sentence. You could also use this as a main activity for Lower Ability children.

A worksheet to help the children write a book review. The sheet contains useful questions that will help encourage the pupils to really think about the book they have read.

A worksheet to help children describe an underwater setting, looking at the different senses.

A set of resources made to aid the teaching of speech alongside reading 'Charlotte's Web'. One worksheet shows Templeton and Goose with empty speech bubbles so children can think about what they might say to each other. This is useful for lower ability children who are not yet ready to use speech marks in their writing. Another worksheet shows Templeton and Goose with completed speech bubbles so that children can "pop" the speech bubbles and write the dialogue with speech marks. The third worksheet in the pack also allows children to "pop" the speech bubbles but gives them a template within which to write the dialogue using speech marks.

Templates on which children can write a poem about what the BFG can hear. This is a great opportunity to discuss onomatopoeia with the children.

During Black History Week, my class learnt about the passengers on the Windrush who were coming to Britain from the Caribbean for better prospects. They thought about how they felt as they were leaving their homes and boarding the ship. Then they thought about what it was like for them when they arrived here. How were they greeted by the British people? I asked the children to write from the perspective of a Windrush passenger stating how they felt whilst on board the Windrush and how they felt when they arrived. My class produced some very sensitive first person pieces of writing.

A sheet designed to help Reception children with their reading skills. The sheet consists of a chart containing a repeated set of words. The child should read through the words in the chart to the best of their ability and as quick as they can. There is then a table at the bottom of the sheet, for the teacher or TA to fill in the the child's time. The more practice the child gets, the quicker their times should be. This is a great way to record their progress.

Created as part of a Literacy unit on 'Aquila' by Andrew Norriss. We looked at the features of explanation texts then children wrote their own explanation of how to operate a UFO. I have included two different templates for different ability children. Once complete, these made lovely pieces of display work.
