From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Develop students' understanding of text stages with this scaffolded activity resource, designed to strengthen reading comprehension, text analysis and writing skills. Through a series of structured tasks, students confidently identify, compare and apply the three stages of a text: introduction, body and conclusion across texts written to entertain, inform and persuade.

Designed to complement explicit classroom instruction, these printable activities gradually increase in complexity, supporting students as they move from recognising text stages to analysing how authors organise ideas for different purposes, before applying this understanding in their own writing.
