Literacy

1. Synthethic Phonics
Sue Palmer's Synthetic Phonix is a major new resource. Slotting in easily with your current resources, it includes recommendations from the interim Rose Review. It consists of a series of interlocking, colour-coded plastic cubes with pre-printed letters, a bag and teacher's notes. Children master phonemes and develop phonics skills for reading with Set 1, before moving onto spelling patterns with Set 2 . Above all, it's first, fast and fun! (See feedback)

2. Sentence Building
Sentifix is a brand new series of themed packs with interlocking colour-coded bricks and stimulus materials. Using Sentifix children learn essential grammar while they practice basic sentence construction. Sentifix: Sam at the Seaside is the first in the series and it introduces a host of fun characters that children can relate to, including the mischievous duo of Sam and his plucky dog Buster.

3. Creative Writing
Take a look too at The Story Maker's Chest by Pie Corbett. Winner of the Educational Resources Award (Primary Resources in 2005), The Story Maker's Chest is a truly innovative and dynamic resource for teaching creative writing at KS2, KS1 and KS3 (see feedback). Open the Chest, and you'll find a range of highly tactile resources to inspire your pupils, such as the Teaching Creative Writing book with loads and ways to use the Chest. Make sure you see the beautifully illustrated NEW Story Maker's Mats and the highly interactive Story Generator Cube Set as well - two brand new resources by Pie to accompany the Chest or for independent use.
