Our previous post was titled Kung Fu Literacy (Word Types). This post follows on from that.The idea again is to use Kung Fu style moves to remind children of rules when writing.

Display a sentence. The everyone reads the sentence aloud. When the following appear in the sentence the following actions are used by all:
Capital Letter - Hands together and bow.
Full Stop - One punch forwards.
Comma - One hand moving in a downwards diagonal direction.
Speech Marks - Both hands held above the head and fingers used in a speech mark style.
Exclamation Mark / Question Mark - One hand make the shape of the upper part and then a punch below.
These are moves we have used. More can be added. Children should be encouraged to think about the moves as they write to remind them of what's required and where.
Good morning,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Abby and my boyfriend and I run a website which offers hundreds of free Early Years and Key Stage 1 teaching resources called Early Learning HQ (www.earlylearninghq.org.uk).
I can see that you have a section primary literacy on your site and I was wondering if you would you mind having a look at some of our resources to see what you think? If you have any ideas for different resources we could make then please let me know and I will make them for you.
You can view our primary literacy page here: http://www.earlylearninghq.org.uk/literacy/
Perhaps if you like the resources then you would consider linking to our page so other parents and teachers can find them as well? We make all the resources in a very small team in Swansea and it would be nice to share them with more people.
Many thanks,
Abby
Thank you Abby, We will have a look.
