A lesson Plan and resources including Simile Bingo, a Computer-based Task Sheet and a differentiated Work Sheet for lower ability students plus a Challenge for higher ability students.

This story has mini illustrations interspersed throughout the text to support weak readers in following the story. To recap the story orally, before writing answers to the comprehension questions, there is an illustrated flow-diagram. The story is in a Dylexia friendly font. To support dyslexic students further, each paragraph could be printed in a different colour. A final activity to support dyslexic students could be to cut each paragraph out, mix them up and have the students put them in sequential order.

I devised this introductory lesson for my year 7 students to help them understand the basic difference between a fact and an opinion. Students may need to re-visit facts and opinions to consolidate what they have started to learn in this lesson. My students enjoyed doing this activity. Please let me know if yours do too.

A lesson recapping what Prepositions are and then looking at and practising Temporal (Time) Prepositions. Suitable for SEN students and can be extended over more than one lesson if needed.

This is a basic lesson on homophones that most students will be able to access but which can easily be extended for higher achieving students. Students can work alone but pairs would benefit Dyslexic students particularly if the non-dyslexic student scribes.

Lesson plan and differentiated worksheets using coloured and dyslexia-friendly fonts.

I devised this recipe for some SEN students who had great difficulty understanding the explanation in text books on adding fractions. When I explained about adding fractions using the analogy of cutting pizzas to share equally with friends, the students began to understand and asked me to write a guide on how to add fractions. I wrote it as a recipe to help students understand that following instructions gets the same result every time. I used colours to help SEN students remember facts and processes.

I designed this work sheet for my lower ability year 8 English class when I discovered that they didn't know their own address, how to address an envelope or how to start writing a letter. I followed it with homework - to learn their own address. Then I got students to address & write each other a postcard during one lesson é post it during one half term. They enjoyed bringing in their post to show everyone the following lesson.

I made this worksheet, using a traditional rhyme, for my lower ability year 7 students because they didn't know how many days were in each month; the order of the months or how to spell the names of the months. I have differentiated it for students with Dyslexia or dyslexic tendencies by colour co-ordinating it and used a Dyslexia-friendly font and spacing.

I took 24 common verbs and colour-coded four endings (-ed, -es, -ing, -s) to make a visual, aural and kinesthetic activity for exploring suffixes. Students get to play, read and say while they're learning. I laminated everything to make a re-useable resource. My students loved this activity. Please tell me if yours do too.

A short fun game which I have tweaked, for younger students and Dyslexic students, which will support their Kinaesthetic memory of what each individual letter of the alphabet feels like. It could be followed with a game of writing a letter on a partner’s back to consolidate the learning; and both games can be repeated as many times as necessary.

a multi-sensory lesson plan designed to engage all students, but especially those on the Dyslexia spectrum in learning about Prepositions. This lesson is an introduction to Prepositions and can be adapted to extend over two or more lessons if required.

This is a multi-sensory lesson on Adjectives which will give students confidence about and practice in defining, identifying and using adjectives. Every student will be able to achieve something in this lesson. The student tasks are multi-coloured and numbered to assist students with tracking difficulties and/or Dyslexia.

A sequencing activity suitable for cutting, mixing up and blu-tacking around the classroom to engage visual and kinesthetic learners during Advent and Christmas.

An interactive and fun activity to help students develop a kinaesthetic memory of individual letters of the alphabet, to improve their handwriting skills.

This is an ice-breaker activity that any subject teachers or HLTAs can use with their new year 7 students. The answers will also help teachers or HLTAs to get to know their new students a little better.

This activity helps students to develop phonological awareness as they match pictures to the initial sound that they hear. The themes are the Royal Wedding, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 London Olympics. This activity can also be used as a sorting activity and as a discussion starter for any of the themes. A re-usable resource if you laminate it and give students mini post-itst o cover their pictures with rather than crossing them off.

I devised this recipe for some SEN students who had great difficulty understanding the explanation in text books on multiplying fractions. I wrote it as a recipe to help students understand that following instructions will help us to remember the process so we get the same result every time.

A multi-sensory (auditory & visual) comprehension activity that sparked some interesting discussion with my year 8 students.

A worksheet to consolidate the learning of the spelling and sounds of words with the Long 'ai&' sound as in &';Lake'; and the short &'a&'; sound as in 'act&'.

A seasonal lesson involving getting students to think and discuss their views before using their creativity and newly-gained knowledge to make improvements to an existing design.
