Started reading The Twits to my class yesterday to introduce chapter books and comprehension over a longer period of time but weโ€™ve had to stop because it gave one of my boys nightmares ๐Ÿ™ˆ any other suggestions for short but fun chapter books for Year 1? #year1 #ks1 #booktwitter

I had an student arrive in September with no English and she had never been in a British curriculum school before. Today she independently wrote her innovated version of The Gruffalo with UAE animals, applying Phonics and using sight words ๐Ÿฅน #Year1 #ReadWriteInc #ELL #progress

What do other Year 1 teachers use to assess SPAG? Looking to change things up a bit and curious to know how others do it/what others use! #year1 #eyfs #provision #spag #literacy #collabuae
