Great for literacy, this interactive resource I found on Scootle (Education Services Australia, 2012) by BBC (2013) allows students to construct a sandcastle by selecting and applying the correct long vowel sound to complete a word. Click on the link below to check it out.
 
If you click on the above Story Map button it will connect you to a great resource through Scootle (Education Services Australia, 2012).

This online interactive resource is ideal for Year 1 and Year 2 literacy. Students can utilise the Interactive Story Map to create a story re-tell to help them consider and sequence key events and characters in a story they have read.  This resource provides informative feedback as students follow the steps to explore character, setting, problem and resolution of a story. Instructions are delivered by a cute furry cat as he talks and guides them through tasks. Students don't just rely on print text and writing, they are learning through visual and audio cues.

 

Watch this animated Xtranormal (2013) movie which demonstrates how students can learn and enhance their literacy skills by creating characters and describing characters from a range of stories they have read.
