Cinderella






Some pictures that I scanned from the old ELS scheme and a story writing frame I made. Click the images to enlarge and right click and save to your computer.


Finger spaces in writing

As we all know in the early stage of a child learning to write they don't put finger spaces in their work.

Here are some resources to help, remind and encourage children to do that.

Spacemen Scroll down toward the bottom of the page to download clipart for sticking to a lolly stick.
Not sure if these will work because I haven't tried them out yet. If you click on the image to open and then right click and save to your computer. You can then insert into a word document and make them the size you want. The idea is to laminate and cut out. Child makes the rocket go along the page and the little spaceman makes the spaces in the child's writing.

A nice idea is to give a child a lollipop stick and let them decorate it themselves so as to take ownership of it.
