Information for teachers Differentiation: Extend the tasks with questions such as “What other letters might you use to add detail?” Allow sharing of ideas and pupil’s discoveries to help those struggling, e.g. “Look at how John has made the scales.” G&T: Create whole scenes using letters that have background and multiple characters. SEN: Use tracing paper over the practice sheet so that they can move and rotate it to the correct position. Place the finished picture next to them.
