Male or Female 01

Description

This peg literacy resource is aimed at pupils in middle classes or SEN pupils working on male/female words. The pack contains 28 cards – on the left hand side of each card is a word. The pupil has to use a clothes peg to identify on the right hand side of the card whether the word pertains to a male, a female or whether it could be either.

Cut up the sheets into 28 separate cards and laminate the cards. This pack could be an ideal activity for a literacy station. A pack of six sets could be put together, one for each pupil in the group, to be completed at a literacy station.

This activity is especially suitable for pupils who may not be able to write answers but who can read and comprehend, therefore it is a way for them to demonstrate this understanding. It is also good for fine motor skills in the manipulation of the pegs onto the cards.

This pack could be split into two separate packs.

We frequently gave activities such as this for homework to our SEN pupils. It gave them the sense that they had homework like everyone else and it also allowed the parents to see what language topic we were currently working on.

This activity would also work well as an independent task to be completed by the pupil in their work station.
