Revitalize your role play areas into dynamic learning spaces that enhance children’s reading and writing skills, utilising predominantly decodable writing frames alongside banks of phase-specific words, phrases and sentences that can be easily incorporated into engaging role play scenarios.

'What's Included in each downloadable pack:

A series of folders (each focusing on one role play area) containing:

• Differentiated writing frames. These are predominantly decodable using reception level phonics, but where this is not possible, supporting visuals are provided.
• An ideas sheet outlining:
  • Possible uses of an outdoor area
  • Items which would be useful when setting up the role play area
  • Shared writing opportunities
  • Independent writing opportunities
  • 'Remote dictation' possibilities (with words/phrases/sentences provided for each phase of Letters and Sounds based SSP programmes)
  • Reading opportunities (with words/phrases/sentences provided for each phase of Letters and Sounds based SSP programmes)
  • Cross curricular links

There is also a comprehensive set of notes to support practitioners in using the resources.

Perfect for:

• Setting up role play areas in Foundation Stage and KS1.
• Providing playful ways to practise phonics skills.

Why use these resources:

• Words on the writing frames are mostly decodable (unlike some other published writing frames for role play areas), so children get to practise their blending skills whilst role playing. The very few words which cannot be completely decoded are accompanied by picture prompts to aid understanding.
• Difficulties in reading captial letters are overcome with the use of lower case letter prompts. Ideal for children in the earliest stages of learning to read.
• Role play areas are easier to set up with the lists of useful items suggested for each.
• Differentiated writing frames are suitable for different stages in the children's reading/writing development.
• Fully planned 'remote dictation' possibilities help you implement the dictation recommendations in the Writing Framework without an adult being present. Words/phrases/sentences for each phase of Letters and Sounds based SSP programmes are provided and linked to scenarios within role play areas.
• Fully planned reading opportunities provide decodable words/phrases/sentences for each phase of Letters and Sounds based SSP programmes. matched to suitable scenarios within role play areas.
