Spelling KS2: Key Stage 2 (Resource Bank English) Book

This book aims to show KS2/P4-7 children how English has developed, giving them memorable contexts for the irregularities in our language. For example, English has Celtic place-names, Dutch gh- words introduced by the first printers and relics of the Raj in Indian words such as "Verandah". The A1 poster provides a photocopiable "whistlestop" tour through the history of English and a number of teaching resources to help children learn, for example, about the patterns in English due to prefixes and suffixes. It is one of a series of books that provides teachers with a variety of essential resources, a poster, photocopiable sheets and lesson plans which focus on particular skills or curriculum content knowledge. The lesson plans are structured to support direct teaching of the whole class followed by differentiated group/individual work, to follow the lesson structure recommended by the National Literacy Strategy (NLS) for "Literacy Hour". The book develops the themes in "Resource Bank: Spelling and Phonics KS1".Read More
