This is one of those strategies that I came up with in a moment of enlightenment - only to find that the idea had already been used before - primarily in the Primary phase!!\nAnyway I put these resources together myself and have them displayed. Make constant reference to them whenever students are thinking, talking, writing or reading. Helps them understand that a high quality written response does not 'appear' as if by magic - particularly when in an exam.\nLet me know how you find these resources.
Contains several worksheets on: apostrophes, capital letters, colons, commas, semi-colons and paragraphing that are useful for starter activities or homework.
I'd appreciate your feedback (positive or constructive) should you choose to purchase this resource.
Ask pupils to find spelling mistakes and write down numbers on the grid.\nScaffolding - yellow highlighter for grammar mistakes, grid to plan how many figures a number has, also ask to underline key words ('thousands' etc).\nDifferentiated (coloured dots and you can change the task (low abilities are better writing words from numbers, but you'll need to change the worksheet)\nI promise Y7-11 will have fun. And teachers will have fun too, because you can&'t imagine how many surprises awaits you.\nHighly recommended to English teachers, because we, Maths teachers, really need it.
