Editable Australian Year One and Foundation Literacy Warm-ups Bundle

Warm-ups are a fantastic way to engage students, revise previous content and introduce new concepts. This bundle includes concepts aligned to the Australian Year One and Foundation Curriculum. Each concept features editable components so you can adjust them to suit your students' needs. This resource has slides that follow a rote learning style, e.g. sight words, and also slides that can form the foundation of entire lessons. If you would like to see more about how I use these slides in my classroom, you can follow me on instagram@mrschalmerscherubs.

This bundles resource includes over 1000 slides!
