As Deputy Head of English, I make tonnes of resources. So, I share them. I don't go overboard with my pricing, instead I try to consider what I would be willing to pay in order to be able to buy several things and save the hours I have put into making the quality resources I have available - without wanting to bankrupt fellow colleagues!

KS3 - English - Literacy Skills Workbook - Sentences & Punctuation
This workbook helps students to focus on the key skills of using capital letters and punctuation in the right places as well as cutting off their sentences so that they aren’t ridiculously long.
It looks a little at main and subordinate clauses and punctuation in the correct places. It is not designed as a ‘from scratch’ or starter resource. It would work well as a mid-range resource for a KS3-KS4 student who needs some recapping. Ideal as an intervention when returning in Sept.
5 extracts with questions designed to encourage students to explore and engage with the texts, find quotes, explain their thoughts, opinions and ideas linked to what they have read.
Extracts include:
Lord of the Flies
Roald Dahl
Gelert the dog
This workbook is designed to help students practice forming and spacing their words. It is designed to help those with poor grip or lower ability, those who really struggle to form legible words on the page.
By the end of the workbook they should see and feel a difference in their handwriting.
This is a free resource. It has taken a lot of time to craft and tweak. So if you would like to visit my amazon shop https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/147a9gr03bshz?ref_=wl_share and treat my students or me to something for my teacher toolkit, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, enjoy the resource!
This peer assessment grid / table is linked to character response paragraphs and allows students to look for success in their peer’s work.
The grid is editable but focusses on thes following questions / skills linked to character analysis then asks for a peer identified improvement:
Have they answered the question:
How are the characters presented in Act 2 Sc1?
Used accurate evidence:
(Words or phrases from the play – not too long)
Written at least 3 PETER paragraphs (this could be edited to whichever format you use PEE etc)
Started their sentences with capital letters, used quote marks and full stops. (“” .)
EBI: (Which skills from the selection above, does your peer need to improve?)
Please use / adapt as you see fit. I hope this saves you some time and helps you and your students.
To get the new academic year off to a great start and headed in the right direction or as a great focus with a new class, choose a ‘WORD GOAL’ for the rest of the year.
A word goal is a word that helps to focus on an area of your life in which you want to improve, grow, develop or do more.
This resources helps to guide students through their selection (sheet 1) then explain their selection and set some initial actions (sheet 2) and then revisit their word at several kep points in the year (sheet 3) to review and refocus.
I have also added a display title if you wanted to put the ‘Word Goals’ up on display.
This has worked really well in the past and also works well hand in hand with the ‘Letter to my Future Self Lesson’ which I also have available.
