During moderation, using HYPHENS was one area of writing most of my children always found hard to ‘tick off’. So to help them I compiled this hyphenated word bank. I left a space in each letter so they could add words of their own to it. But having them in front of them has definitely helped them to get hyphenated words in to their writing more. Some of them had to be explained to them for meaning, but now they love trying to fit some of the more unusual ones in to their writing. They also add words from their reading books to the list. I found this very useful as there isn’t much on hyphens out there to help us teachers! Enjoy!

I have included loads of Notebook Files. 5 weeks worth of planning, pictures, activities, a who wants to be a millionaire game based on the book that I made and loads of self assessment checklists. Adapt as needed and enjoy!

I made these grids similar to the moderation sheets we use as teachers, but child friendly with pictures and examples to help the children understand what to look for in their writing. My children use these effectively and it also helps my teacher assessment and their understanding. It may help new year 6 teachers too!

I think this in the most useful resource I've made so far to help year 5 and 6 children with their writing. It has helped me get my books in order for writing moderation too!
