A superb resource to support the Literacy

Every pupil in the country is now required to
study traditional tales and fairy stories. In
addition, the Literacy Strategy places great
emphasis on sequencing, characters and story
settings.
This activity aims to help teachers by providing
downloadable story texts, illustrations and
accompanying resources. The downloadable resources
are Word documents which allow the teacher to
adapt them according to the needs of the pupils.
The worksheets can either be printed off and used
in the classroom or pupils can complete them on
the computer. |

StoryStarter
WordLab StoryStarter
If
you need to write a story and
inspiration won't come, try
StoryStarter. This game combines
plot elements that may spark a
story idea. The WordLab Fruit
Machine works by randomly
combining separate plot
elements. "As you spin the
reels, watch out for original,
unexpected or humourous
combinations. Some of the
combinations will be
nonsensical, but seemingly
ridiculous combinations might
produce a story with a
fascinating twist - if you've
got enough imagination! "

pictures for the student
