English Revision Web Sites

Key Stages 2 and 3, (5s to 2s).

Below are a series of links to web sites which I have used in lessons and which I consider useful for Ashdown children to use either in school or in the holidays.  There is a short explanatory sentence before the link detailing the type of site.

Key Stage 2, (5s, 4s and 3s)

These websites are aimed at Key Stage 2, but it may be useful for 2s to have a little look over the work they have covered!
