They will watch the story, complete some comprehension activities, look at some lexis for fairy stories, and retell the story. Finally, learners can do some extension work based on the story, writing and illustrating their own ending.

'True/False stories' is a speaking activity which is very effective for practising the telling of stories and for learning fascinating things about the students in the class. You don't need any materials for this, just an invented story that you are ready to tell.

'The holiday maze' is a reading and speaking activity in which students make decisions in pairs or groups with the aim of going on a successful holiday. It is based on a 'maze' principle, which gives students different options and a variety of different holiday outcomes. It is an excellent, fun way to practise the 'functional' language of agreement and disagreement, suggestion and negotiation, as well as specific language relating to holidays, in a genuinely 'communicative' activity.

In this recorded talk from the Teaching for Success online conference, David Crabtree looks at how teaching to support learners with specific learning difficulties can benefit all learners in the class. As the lead on the University of Westminster AchieveAbility project in schools, David developed a set of classroom tools and approaches proven to be successful with SpLD learners and applied these to whole-class teaching. The project demonstrated that by incorporating these, teachers can have a big impact upon the achievement of all learners.
