The Secondary Strategy has produced intervention materials for year 9 pupils and these include: sentence builders; explanations and dominoes/loop cards activities. These activities are based on the 5 key ideas and scientific enquiry. Many teachers find these exercises to be very useful in helping to develop the literacy skills of their pupils and have requested them for every unit or module of work they cover with their year 7, 8 and 9 pupils.
In Essex a number of schools including The Thomas Lord Audley School and Language College and The Harwich School helped to produce these resources and our thanks goes to them. All files are in Word format.
