The grammar covered in each topic has accompanying interactive activities and quizzes. You can also find these resources in the grammar bank at the bottom of the folder structure. Take a look at an example from Theme 1.

Sound-spelling links

The sounds covered in the Student Books are practised and tested through worksheets, interactive activities and assessment, including Dictation and Read aloud tasks.

Skills practice

Extra listening, reading, speaking and writing interactive activities and worksheets to accompany the Student Books are available to students in the Resources tab. 

Adding your own resources

You can add to the bank of resources with your own resources, which means that you can create lessons and units that are bespoke to you and to your classes.

Answers and transcripts can be found in the related section within the Resources tab. By default these will be hidden to students but can be made visible. When assigning work you will also be able to attach answers as supporting material.

Next Steps & Reports

Next Steps activities

Completed Start tasks trigger automated Next Steps, Level Up Secure and Level Up Extend, based on students’ results. Each completed assessment will also populate a bank of Reactivate questions, based on principles of spaced retrieval. Find out more about how Next Steps and Reactivates work.

Reports

Knowledge, Task and Skills reports give you further insights into progress made through the specification. Reports include additional information, for example Developing, Secure, Extending statuses and details of completed Next Steps.

Creating teaching groups

To get the full benefit of Kerboodle’s enhanced functionality, adding students to teaching groups is essential. It is the administrator’s role  to create and manage year groups and to put students into their correct year groups. Once this has been done, teachers can create teaching groups/classes.
