Jumpstart! Literacy: Key Stage 2/3 Literacy Games Kindle Edition

Pie Corbett is an innovative educator. This book will refresh your ideas about literacy and spark the imagination to do different presentations about language and stories

I’ve used this constantly since it arrived. Packed full of useful ideas that are easy to put into practice, even with individual pupils.

This book includes lots of activities to include as mental/oral starters. Some could be extended into longer sessions. I like the ideas for improving spelling and have been focusing on these but I look forward to including other ideas in my lessons soon. Children quickly engage with the activities and gives them good strategies for their own learning

I was concerned that it may offer long and convoluted things to do within the classroom but actually a lot of the suggestions are really easy to follow and things that good, experienced teachers will probably do quite naturally. Some of us however need a helping hand and this has offered me a new perspective to some of those more challenging days.

Short simple ideas, largely ideas already used but helpful reminder and a few new ideas to try

Excellent product
