Resources

Glorious Grammar!

Sometimes, spelling, punctuation and grammar can be quite a dry subject to teach and learn.
Dan wanted Jamie Johnson to help and has teamed up with a great English teacher called Adam Bernard to support this process.
These resources are based on the book Jamie Johnson: Born To Play, which is a special prequel to the Jamie Johnson series.
It was the story that the first season of the Jamie Johnson TV show was based on.

There are a range of simple but important challenges which will help the teaching and learning of spelling, grammar and punctuation.
You will find a pupils’ version of the resources with spaces left for their answers and a teachers’ version too, with all the answers provided.

Feel free to print these off and use in class. We hope this helps!

Resources For All The Books

Please make full use of these fantastic teaching resources based around the JJ books.
Rowena Simmons and English Teachers at the Academies Enterprise Trust have been devised these resources.
I love the fact that the JJ books are being used in classrooms up and down the country so do let me know how you get on with them. If you develop any resources of your own do let me know and I can include them here too.
