Susan Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Seem to have said yes to a KS1 teaching position for next term. Which teacher resources do you recommend( its some time since I taught in this age group!), please?
Guest Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) I like the Classworks literacy book from Nelson Thornes. Edited April 25, 2008 by Guest
Susan Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks Kaloufl, thats useful. Whats the difference between that and the Scholastic ones?
HappyMaz Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Seem to have said yes to a KS1 teaching position for next term. Which teacher resources do you recommend( its some time since I taught in this age group!), please? Congratulations Susan! Maz
Susan Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks, Maz! Seems like I wont be visiting after all
Marion Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Congratulations Pie Corbett's Bumper Book of storytelling into writing KS1
Guest Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I'm in the same boat, so will look forward to sharing ideas! Which year group will it be? Have quite a few literacy resources if you want them. PM your email and I'll send them over. Tracylu
Guest Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Sorry Susan I'm not sure whether they are any better than other books - I know that I went through a phase of changing year groups quite a lot while I was on and off maternity leaves and I just kind of "fitted" with the Classworks books – they were very hot on overtly teaching children the features of different text types and lots of reading before they write which I really liked. I've been in Foundation for 2 and 1/2 years now though so there may be more good things out there. Year 1s are nice though - I'm sure you'll have fun!
Marion Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 We use Sue Palmer's books for teaching text types. http://www.suepalmer.co.uk/pubskeleton.php http://www.suepalmer.co.uk/writingks1.php
Susan Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks Marion. I was wondering about those texts but always nice to have them recommended! Kaloufl, no apologies needed. Thanks for your advice. Ive got a Numeracy Classworks which I have to admit I dont use that often but Ive not used my Scholastic "100" lessons very much either as I dont like the rather prescriptive nature of those. Thanks for your help. Tracylu email received, thanks! Nice to know theres someone else out there!
Marion Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 An example of the Pie Corbett concept is available http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=re...YYYV-F21yRwoJ6A
Guest Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Pie's writing models are brill, too. His Jumpstart series of books are good for little games to make things like spelling and sentence work more fun. I think there's a new one on creativity now too.
Susan Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Can see Im going to be bankrupt at this rate! And have loads of redundant FS books!! Thanks for the tips, Tracy.
