Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to play a game to identify and match different words written in the past tense using their correct irregular spellings and a set of cards for support ability levels to identify and match different words written in the past tense with their correct irregular spellings.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore different words written in the past tense using the correct irregular spellings to use when describing characters from a story.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to research and model different ways that authors describe and use characters in narrative stories, practise identifying words with irregular past tense spellings and write sentences to describe story characters using conjunctions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
