Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated sets of cards to select and combine roots and suffixes to record lists of words that are part of the same spelling family to use when describing some of the narrative events, settings and characters that feature in a traditional tale.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record words that are part of the same spelling family by adding different prefixes and suffixes to word roots.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise writing and editing an alternative version of a traditional story by swapping characters, settings and plot events, identify and spell families of words with prefixes and suffixes and punctuate direct speech in dialogue. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
