Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Extend students’ understanding of text structure with this complete teaching bundle for analysing and applying text stages and phases. Designed to lighten the load, this premium resource combines explicit teaching slides, a structured lesson plan and scaffolded student activities into one cohesive, classroom-ready solution for meaningful English instruction.

Aligned to the Gradual Release of Responsibility (I Do, We Do, You Do) framework, this bundle moves students beyond identifying text structures and into analysing authorial choices, comparing structural decisions across texts, and purposefully planning their own writing. Through explicit modelling, guided analysis, formative check-ins and supported application, students develop greater confidence organising ideas for different purposes, including to entertain, inform and persuade.
