Literacy Word Bank

This is a simple page where the pupil is asked to sort and record a range of words which can later be used in their own writing. I love this activity as it has a range of uses: can be sent as a homework to teach the child how to use it independently with their own writing or reading, it can encourage children to take ownership over their work or to read a teachers comments more purposefully. I often hightlight an opener in a pupil’s work and they feel proud enough to record it in their word bank for later use. Most importantly, generally I use this as an assessment task throughout the term helping me to see if a child has misunderstood a term or has a repetitive spelling problem with a pattern.
Enjoy!
