Literacy Resources

Games and activities for ages 7 – 12

This is one of Pie’s latest books based on his recent work around talk for writing .  The book is packed full of ideas for developing children’s story telling and story making.  The sections based around creative warm-ups and strengthening the imagination are especially valuable for dev eloping a writer’s ethos in the classroom.

If you search for this book on Amazon, you can look inside the first few pages and see some of the activities.  I like the idea of Video Writing as a way of releasing words from children.

All KS2 teachers should have a copy of this book.

If you enjoyed Traction Man Is Here then you will also enjoy this latest book from Mini Grey. 

Once again Traction Man has a series of adventures only this time Scrubbing Brush goes missing and Traction Man is on a mission to find him.

Everyone will remember Traction Man’s all-in-one knitted green romper suit.  Well in this book he has a range of suitable clothing from his Airtight Astro Suit with Glass Head-Globe to his Elasticated Micro-Suit.

This book is a must for every school library and is going on our Texts that Teach  when we next update it.

The website http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/author/912 has a good short biography of Mini Grey.  You’ll never guess why she is called Mini.
