Identifying Unknown Words While Reading

This template will help students create their own Word Charts when reading a new text. They identify, define and use words that are new to them.

Affix Organiser

This visual strategy teaches students about affixes. An affix is a grammatical element that is attached to a word stem to form a new word or word forms. There are two main types of affixes: prefixes and suffixes.

Language of Learning Poster

The Language for Learning poster can be used as a teaching support or as a quick method of determining the level of questioning at which a student is working. Students can use this poster to support them in their own asking of questions.

It has been designed to print in whatever size you want for your wall display. This is a quick reference of the type of questions that are appropriate for each level. This supports teachers and students to know the types of questions at each level

This will ensure that every child in a group or whole class setting can be asked a question that they will be able to answer.

Let it rip pencil grip

This little ditty and poster will help both left and right-handed learners focus on their pencil grip.  A correct pencil grip will enable the writer to move the fingers, controlling the pencil or pen with efficient finger movements. The ability to hold a pencil correctly can affect a child’s attitude to learning and schoolwork, their academic achievement as well as their motor/joint development.
