'MY FAVOURITE BOOK' DIFFERENTIATED MARK MAKING/DRAWING/WRITING SHEETS (UK SPELLINGS)
Differentiated templates (4 included) which provide a space for children to express thoughts about a book that they enjoy. (UK spelling of ‘favourite’.)
You may like to present your very youngest children with a few books you know they enjoy reading. They can look at them and perhaps gravitate towards the one they enjoy the most. As children get older, you may feel you can talk to them about what they like about the book, e.g. the characters or that it is funny, or it makes them smile at the end when everyone is happy, etc. The oldest children may be able to discuss in more detail characters, objects, settings and plot points that they enjoy.
After discussion (or during), children may like to make marks/drawings on an appropriate sheet or even write some key words. You may like to write down some of the things that the child has said during your chat. The youngest children may for example make a mark on the paper and say e.g. ‘bee’ indicating that is what they have drawn from the book. The oldest children may draw a picture showing some elements of the book and attempt sounding out and writing a sentence e.g. ‘It is fun’ or ‘I like the frog’.

WORLD BOOK DAY STORY BUILDING PACK - CUT, STICK & CREATE/WRITE/TELL STORIES
Have great fun building your own stories! Simply select 1 of the 3 differentiated template sheets. Then select a character (6 to choose from), a setting (6 to choose from) and an object (6 to choose from). Stick them into the appropriate boxes at the top of the sheet and let your imaginations run wild!
How much input is required from an adult will depend on the child. The ideas vocalised by a child could range from simply telling you what the items in the boxes are to a fragment of an idea about what might happen with the character and the object in the setting, to a fully fledged story with a beginning, middle and end.
A child’s thoughts can be scribed by an adult or drawn/written by the child. Ideal prompt for story ideas/ writing/ mark making.
Why not use in conjunction with our ‘Lollipop Puppet Set’ or ‘Character Building Pack’?

MY WEATHER BOOK - BABIES
This pack includes 8 pages which are designed to be place together to create a book to share with your baby.
Each of the pages with a different weather type have an image and a suggestion for interaction with him/her. Enjoy exploring the book together and noticing which pages he/she likes the most.
Perhaps you could even place the pages in order of which ones they like the best. For example, you could place the ones with least reaction from your baby at the beginning and the ones with the most positive reaction at the end, hopefully culminating at the end with your baby smiling, laughing and/or giggling! With his/her input in the order of the book, you could write their name on the front in the ‘Created by’ box. If you are a childcare provider, this could be a lovely gift for him/her to take home and share with family.
