The 3 Ticking Texts books encourage early readers to understand texts. Book 1 is aimed at KS1 plus older pupils with literacy problems, whilst books 2 and 3 are more suitable for KS2 plus KS3 pupils struggling with literacy. Each book includes various types of short texts with a low reading level and a high interest level, and the format allows children with poor coordination/writing ability to concentrate solely on text comprehension skills. The sheets are useful for shared and guided reading and for homework and are also suitable for speaking and listening work. Discussion points and extension activities are included for each text. This is a useful resource for children who have ‘learnt to read’ and are now ‘reading to learn.’ Previously available through Easylearn.
This resource contains an editable, 75-slide Powerpoint lesson on inverted commas (speech marks/quotation marks). It is appropriate for pupils in Years 3, 4 and 5 and older, SEN pupils who have yet to master the basics in punctuation. The Powerpoint demonstrates how to:

punctuate reporting clauses and direct speech
punctuate split speech
set out dialogue in writing

A lesson on ordering and comparing large numbers. Powerpoint contains: a video for visual learners, sentence starters to encourage maths talk and inequality symbols to print out. Differentiated worksheets included. Aimed at SEND Year 8 students but can easily be used for KS1 & 2 or KS3 intervention groups. Dyslexic friendly font and powerpoint.
This was created with a very wide ranging ability group. It has several levels of 'closure' and allows for differentiation and personalised learning for pupils without them feeling either patronised or discriminated against. This type of worksheet is usually produced during a lesson with input from pupils. Pupils choose the words to remove and put into boxes. The sheet can then be copied and differentiated. I often let youngsters decide which level of sheet that they want to do.
