Mr Wolf's Pancakes bundle

In this pack we’ve combined our Guided Reading pack and Starting Points set to give you a broad range of resources and planning ideas for Babette Cole’s alternative fairy story, Princess Smartypants. Both resources are available separately on the Primary English website, but can be downloaded here as a value-for-money bundle.

Mr Wolf’s Pancakes: Starting Points

In this set of Starting Points based on Mr Wolf’s Pancake’s by Jan Fearnley you’ll find ideas to support spoken language, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling.
