English KS1 resources for schools
Written language is dependant on a solid foundation of spoken language, reading and comprehension. Progression requires good understanding of spelling, punctuation and grammar. The majority of mainstream children are able to learn each skill individually and collaboratively. However, should a child struggle with one or even every element, they can begin to lose interest or even refuse to participate in related lessons.
Often simply changing the format of a session, including games or activities involving repetition can increase confidence and therefore enthusiasm. Our resources are not restricted to children with additional needs, all children (whether mainstream or home schooled) would benefit from using our interactive methods.
A small sample of the interventions available are listed below. Specific packs based on your individual requirements (including phonics books, spelling packs and reading material) can be built and sent for your approval.
