Reviews of: Jumpstart!: Literacy - Games and Activities for Ages 7-14by Pie Corbett
Reviews You will wonder how you managed without one! This is a must for ks2 teachers everywhere. This book provides a wealth of short games to start off your literacy lessons be in fiction, non fiction or poetry - sentence, text or word level work. The games really allow you to extend the childrens vocabulary and provide extra input into vital literacy skills in a fun way. All NQT's should be given one! A wonderful book - the most regularly useful book i have bought for use in my classroom. Cant give it any higher praise. Mine is full of post it notes of all the activities i love and use regularly. 2009-01-05 A must have book I love it! The children in my class love it! It is full of literacy starters and games to get children thinking. It fits really well with the Ros Wilson 2020 / Big Writing and the Literacy Hour. I wouldn't be without it. 2007-08-30 A must for any teacher! I have Jumpstart for over 3 years now and it has been invaluable in my Literacy planning. The games are split into sections, some are quick, others need more time - but all of the games are wonderful. My class has several firm favourites, and I have been particularly happy with the spelling games, of which many are now being played at the children's home whilst learning their spellings for the week. Jumpstart games can be applied to any year group and I would recommend it to any Teacher. 2007-06-23 A good starting point I've used a few of the activities in this book 'as they stand' and they have worked very well with my Y7-Y8 classes who are about Level 2 - Level 4. I don't feel it is something you could refer to as an emergency 10 minutes before the lesson starts. I have to either incorporate the activities into schemes of work or refer to it the night before/morning. Covers all range of literacy activities and is an excellent resource in that respect. 2007-04-03 Handy for the classroom This has been a great classroom tool. It is easy read and has some great ideas. Some of them you may have already thought of, but on those rainy days when your brain just isn't working, it's great to be able to flip through the pages and find an inspiring starter. Or, in some cases the inspiration for a greta lessons; there are some lovely writing workshop ideas included. Great for 7-14's. A must have for every teachers tool box. 2006-11-28 |
