In 2021, I created these decodable book creator readers that practice reading, writing, saying, decoding and encoding key sounds for structured literacy. These are free to access and kids love being able to use them on the ipads in their literacy time. These are available as links here but, I have been asked to share the little posters I made also - so find them as a download below!

In particular, the launch of Planning Course Academy, Model For Me and many other online courses and guides were a massive achievement! These have enrolled over 200 students across the world targeting a wide range of learning areas for teachers to upskill in. Creating these has been a dream come true! Sharing more of my learning, teaching and practice for others to take back into their classrooms for themselves. Something I have been working towards since I first started Mrs Priestley ICT!

Such an easy way to learn about something new & build confidence for your classroom practice.

So I went to the shops and grabbed some different types of balls to go in my ball pit - being a plastic container box. How does it work? Students use the recording sheet alongside the box and can play either by themselves or with a buddy. They take turns picking out a ball, saying the word that is on it and then writing it down on the recording sheet. Students would leave that ball they picked out of the box so students can pick it again. Another way they could play is with the buddy, once they have picked out the balls to swap recording sheets. Students could then ask each other how to spell a word that was picked out! Lots of great fun using this resource and I can't wait to get this going in word work time!
Check out my planning tip sheet below! Plus links to all the resources that I use for planning!
I just used a white folder from Kmart I had lying around my classroom and created a cover sheet with some inspirational quotes on the inside. Then used clear files to add in all the pictures and things that I want to reflect back on and remember. You can make one too - use my cover page below!
