Library Challenge Cards
These ‘Library Challenge’ cards were made for my class library, but they could be used in a school library as well. The idea was just to get the children excited about reading and properly engaged with the books, and they’ve really enjoyed working through the activities – an added bonus being that I use this work to decorate the walls of our library.
There’s a selection of 10 Library Challenge Cards, plus a ‘Library Challenge of the Week’ which just allows for changing things up a little without having to print and laminate more cards.
Speech Punctuation Checklist Poster
A poster designed to help children to make sure they have included all of the punctuation necessary for speech. It has been made on an A4 sheet, but with the intention of being blown up to A3!

The slides and tasks have been created for a short 15 minute SPAG session but could also be used as starters or in literacy lessons. At the end of each block of 4 topics is a quiz slide (which, if covered daily, would be a Friday session) which recaps the previous 4 topics covered.

Possible uses:

- as a model for writing own newspaper articles
- to critique - what is good and not-so-good about this article?
P.s. The family is not called 'Finnegan' in Kensuke's Kingdom - we are not told their surname so I made one up!
