31/07/2008 "EL P4 indicates yes or no given a chioce" Used to create two new activity sheets: "ES P4 SCD indicates yes given a choice" and "ES P4 SCD indicates no given a choice". The activites in these sheets also appear most appropriate for children with a social communication disorder (SCD). See English Speaking P4.
10/07/2008 "EL L2b auditory recall of lists and sentences" Three new activities added to this sheet - see English Listening Level 2B.
10/07/2008 "PA Cons r w auditory discrimination" Added to the site as "PA Cons r w auditory discrimination" in Phonology and Articulation: consonants

04/06/2008 "PA Cons to identify errors in an adult speech" Renamed: "PA Cons all sounds identify errors in an adults speech".
04/06/2008 "PA Cons auditory discrimination of sounds s z sh z" Renamed: "PA Cons s sh z zh auditory discrimination". The names of the sounds have been moved towards the beginning of the name to make it easier to find activities for specific sounds. The word lists in this activity have been moved to a document called PA AR word lists for sound work in additional resources for phonology and articulation.
04/06/2008 "PA Conn s and z in phrases and sentences" Renamed: "PA Cons s z use s and z in phrases and sentences". I have added the names of the sounds to make it easier to find activities working on specific sounds (this change should probably be made to other sheets targeted at specific sounds). It has been put in the consonants section rather than the connected speech section as the connected speech section is really for activities that don't relate to specific sounds.
08/05/2008 "ES P8 prepositions in short sentences" Added to the site as "ES P8 use prepositions in short sentences" with links to similar sheets added.
08/05/2008 "EL L1a two part instructions before after plurals" Added to the site as "EL L1a two part instructions with before after and plurals". A box detailing pre-requisites for this activity has been added to the top of each page of this sheet.
15/04/2008 "WIP EL P6 understand and use pronouns he and she" Description of resource required for the activity contained in this sheet added and the activity added into "EL P6 understand and use pronouns he and she".
15/04/2008 "TAPpast tense edit" Activities from this sheet have been amalgamated with activites from "ES P7 make phrases in past tense using irregular verbs". This has now been split into two sheets: "ES P7 make phrases in past tense using irregular verbs 1" and "ES P7 make phrases in past tense using irregular verbs 2". The list of irregular verbs in the original sheet is now in a separate document in additional resources for English P4 to P8.
27/03/2008 "ES P5 give instructions in two key word phrases" Added to the site as "ES P5 use 2 key word phrases to give instructions". Further detail added to the instructions for making and carrying out the activity.
21/03/2008 "AR E P4P8 SN Other 4 in a row grid" Added to the site in additional resources for English level 1 and level 2 as "AR E four in a row game board".
21/03/2008 "EW L2b SN Other techniques for learning specific spellings" Added to the site as "EW L2b use a strategy to remember spellings".
21/03/2008 "EW L2c SN Other game for spelling phonically regular words" Added to the site as "EW L2c spell phonically regular words" with a note on the sheet that it can be used for teaching spellings at other levels.
21/03/2008 "EW L2c SN Other learning spellings of high frequency words" Added to the site as "EW L2c spell high frequency words" with a note on the sheet that it can be used for teaching spellings at other levels.
21/03/2008 "ER P8 SN Other letter recognition" Added to the site as "ER P8 recognise half the letters of the alphabet". The activity on this sheet as been chunked into its three steps.

21/03/2008 "ER P8 SN Other recognition of high frequency words(1)" The activity on this sheet was added to "ER L1b recognises 20 high frequency words".
21/03/2008 "ER P8 SN Other learning to recognise high frequency words" Renamed "ER L1b recognises 20 high frequency words". According to the P-scales, children begin recognising words at level P8, and according to the UK National Curriculum they should be able to read a range of familiar words at Level 1B. BSquared suggests that pupils will have a sight vocabulary of 25 high frequency words at Level 1B.
13/03/2008 "ER P8 learning alphabetical order" Renamed "ER L1c knows alphabetical order". Some descriptive pictures added.
20/02/2008 "ES P6 to act out and name simple actions" One new activity added.
20/02/2008 "PA Syll count syllables in words and phrases" One new activity added.
20/02/2008 "MS P7 pupils pick out shapes from a collection", "MN P8 more less greater fewer larger smaller" These two sheets - along with three new uploaded activities - have been used to make nine new activities sheets: "MN P7 understand and use one less", "MN P7 understand and use one more", "MS L1c name 3d shapes eg sphere", "MS P7 understand and use larger", "MS P7 understand and use less for quantity", "MS P7 understand and use more for quantity", "MS P7 understand and use smaller" and "MS P8 name 2d shapes eg square". "MN P8 more less greater fewer larger smaller" has been deleted as it covered too many different targets - the activities from this sheet have been incorporated into the new activities sheets.
20/02/2008 "MN P4 show an interest in number rhymes songs or games" New activity added, and instructions updated.
20/02/2008 "ES P8 KS2 use determiners the a an appropriately" New activiy added.
20/02/2008 "ES P7 three key word expression" Café activity added.

17/01/2008 "PA Cons produce the sound s.doc" Added to the site as "PA Cons use s sound without the tongue forward or protruding.doc". Reference to the TAP sheet "PA Cons hear if s is said correctly or with the tongue forward" added into the comments column.
17/01/2008 "PA Cons discriminate dental vs alveolar s.doc" Added to the site as "PA Cons hear if s is said correctly or with the tongue forward". Graphics changed to graphics made specifically for TAP. Activities put in the comments column moved so that each one has its own row.
17/01/2008 "ES P6 formulate well structured sentences.doc" This has been used to generate two TAP sheets: "ES P5 use subject and verb in the correct order" and "ES P7 use subject verb and object in the correct order". These sheets are based on "ES P5 two word phrase with action word" but with a change of emphasis to working on getting the words in the sentences in the correct order.
30/12/2007 "EW P7 simple sequencing.doc" Added to the site as "EW P7 sequences three pictures showing a practical activity.doc".
30/12/2007 "PSHE P6 to use no.doc" Added to the site as "PSHE P7 respond appropriately with no to short phrases.doc".
15/11/2007 "AR E L1 dont say it cards for taboo.doc" Additional resource for "SE L1 use descriptive language to describe objects". Added to the site in English level 1 - additional resources.
15/11/2007 "ES L1b find out information about someone.doc" Added to the site as "ES L1b find out information about someone.doc".
15/11/2007 "SE L1b describe object.doc" Added to the site as "SE L1 use descriptive language to describe objects.doc".
15/11/2007 "ES L1b predict what will happen next in a social sto.doc" Added to the site as "ES L1b predict what might happen next in a social story.doc". The talkabout activities were combined into on activity "Talking about situations", two free sample pictures are included in English level 1 additional resources with permission from Blacksheep press.
16/10/2007 "E P3i indicating more of an activity.doc" Two new activities added to this sheet. Have replaced "more" with "another one" in the second activity using the bricks as this language is probably more natural for this situation.
29/09/2007 "MN P8 matches objects up to 8.doc" Added to the site as "MN P8 match quantities up to 8.doc"
04/09/2007 "EL P4 understanding of familiar object and action names.doc" Sheet updated.
04/09/2007 "EL P4 single word understanding.doc" Renamed "EL P4 SCD understand single words.doc". These activities are suitable for children with social communication disorder and others.
04/09/2007 "PA Cons practice saying consonant plus vowel words.doc" Added to the site as an additional resource: "AR PA activities for developing sounds in words.doc" as the activities in this sheet can be used for developing a number of different skills with sounds in words. The activities using blocks have been replaced with a comment to see "PA Cons develop use of sounds in words using building blocks" which contains these activities.
04/09/2007 "ES P4 choose which verse to sing using a picture.doc" Renamed as "ES P4 SYMBOLS use a picture to make a request.doc" - added into English Speaking P4.
21/08/2007 "EW L1a build and start to use category word banks.doc" Added to the site as "EW L1a build a bank of words around a topic or word feature.doc" with minor edits.
21/08/2007 "ES L2b tell a story using visual framework.doc" (new TAP sheet) and "ES L1a use a visual framework to tell a simple story.doc" (existing TAP sheet). "ES L1a use a visual framework to tell a simple story.doc" has been split into two separate sheets, the more advanced story telling activities are more suitable for children working at level 2b, whilst the first activity on the sheet is suitable for children working at level 1a.
07/08/2007 "AR E L1 irregular past tense activities.doc" This sheet needs to be put into a standard TAP format and has been added to the work in progress section, for anyone who would like to do this.
07/08/2007 "ES P4 use ready steady go in turntaking.doc" Added to the site. Note, there is also a similar activity in “ES P4 use a sign or word to indicate more”.
26/06/2007 "PA Clus practice saying s clusters in words and phras.doc" This has been divided into two activity sheets: "PA Clus develop word initial s clusters in words and phrases 1.doc" which contains the first five activities, and "PA Clus develop word initial s clusters in words and phrases 2.doc" which contains the rest of the activities requiring the BBC resources. It's fine to link to resources on other sites like this. The only issue to watch out for though is if the BBC at some point decide to remove the content or move it somewhere else - at which time the link will no longer work.
19/06/2007 "ES P7 SCD uses you appropriately.doc" Added to the site as "ES P7 use the pronoun you appropriately.doc". For the second activity (renamed "drawing pictures") the model instruction has been changed from "You draw a (cat)" to "Can you draw a cat?" which is a more natural way of forming an instruction containing the pronoun "you". An initial go for the adult has also been added as a model for the child. The last activity "Miming games" requires a more natural way of giving an instruction which would use you ("Can you clap your hands?" for example?) and hasn't been added.
19/06/2007 "ES P7 SCD uses i appropriately.doc" Added to the site as "ES P7 use the pronoun i appropriately to refer to self.doc". The BSquared P Steps Summative Assessment was used to help arrive at a curriculum area and level for this activity sheet.
19/06/2007 "EL P8 understand 4icw utterances including and adjTAP4ICW adj.doc" Added to the site as "EL P7 understand 4 key words including an adjective.doc" (with minor edits).
05/06/2007 "AR PSHE L1 SCD can i play a game with board.doc", "AR PSHE P4P8 SCD can i play a game with board.doc", and "AR PSHE P4P8 SCD key phrases for initiating interactions.doc". Combined together into "AR PSHE L1 SCD initiation prompt cards examples.doc" and added into additional resources for PSHE P4 to L1.
05/06/2007 "PSHE P7 SCD make initiations to join activities.doc" (edited sheet). Two activities added.
05/06/2007 "EL P8 to follow sequenced 4 to 5 key word instructions.doc" (edited sheet). Comments added on making this relevant to class curriculum topics.
05/06/2007 "PSHE L1 to play finish and play with someone else.doc" Added to the site as "PSHE L1 play with one friend then play with someone else .doc".
05/06/2007 "AR PSHE L1 roberts friend story script.doc" Added to the site in additional resources for PSHE P4 to L1plus. This resource goes with the activity above ("PSHE L1 play with one friend then play with someone else .doc").
05/06/2007 "PSHE L1 judge if specific behaviour is being a friend.doc" Renamed "PSHE L1plus KS1 judge if behaviour is being a good friend.doc "
05/06/2007 "PSHE L1 to differentiate between similiar emotions.doc" Renamed "PSHE L1plus KS2 to differentiate between similar emotions.doc".
05/06/2007 "PA Clus know which s cluster is at the start.doc" Added to the site in Phonology and Articulation - Clusters - as "PA Clus identify correct s cluster at the beginnings of words.doc".
22/05/2007 "PA Conn increase awareness of own intelligibility.doc" Added to the site in Phonology and Articulation - Connected Speech. A number of the activities on this sheet require sensitivity when carrying them out to avoid possibly damaging a child's self-confidence and self-image: warnings have been added to the activities which require this sensitivity.
22/05/2007 "ES L2a synonyms.doc" One new activity added.
15/05/2007 "PA Cons practice production at singleword level.doc" Added to the site as "PA Cons develop use of sounds in words using building blocks.doc". This sheet has been reorganised into a set of separate activities.
15/05/2007 "ES L1 descriptions using is will and has.doc" Added to the site as "ES P8 say sentences using past present and future.doc". The example of the additional resource has been included on the activities sheet as a picture (as this would be simple enough to draw out by hand in an activity session). A comment about an alternative form used for the future i.e. "going to" has also been added to the sheet.
15/05/2007 "PSHE L1plus KS2 give compliments.doc" Updated to include an example of a compliments chart.
03/05/2007 "AR E L2plus list of common synonyms.doc" Added to the site in additional resources for English level 2 and above.
03/05/2007 "ES L2 synonyms.doc" Added to the site as "ES L2a synonyms.doc" in English Speaking Level 2a.
19/04/2007 "PA Phon auditory discrimination of minimal pairs.doc" with three new activities added. Older TAP sheet replaced with this one.
19/04/2007 "gross categorisation skills.doc" Added to the site as "S P6 sort objects by clear physical and functional distinctions.doc" in Science P6. Unfortunately due to copyright reasons we were not able to include the accompanying concept cards sheet on the site.
19/04/2007 "Prepositions TAP.doc" Added to the site as "MS P6 SYMBOLS understand on and under.doc" in Maths Shape, space and measures P6. This sheet was originally contributed as being targeted at SCD (Social Communication Disorder) or autism, however it would be appropriate for other symbol users as well (and even non symbol users). The symbols accompanying this sheet have not been added to the site as they may be subject to copyright.
06/04/2007 "Full and Empty TAP.doc" Added to the site as "MS P6 SCD understand and use full and empty.doc". Example full and empty symbols have been added to this sheet. The original symbols contributed with this sheet were not included because of possible copyright infringement.
06/04/2007 "EL P6 understand and use pronouns he and she.doc" - additional activity for this sheet. Unfortunately, this new activity - which looks great - requires a resource that many schools may not have and so hasn't yet been included in the main body of the site. A copy of this sheet has been placed in the work in progress section for anyone to develop the activity - either with a comprehensive description of the resource required, or with appropriate, copyright permitted, pictures.
28/03/2007 TAP template updated Change to the copyright displayed on the sheet to direct people to look at the site for the copyright information. See the copyright information page.
28/03/2007 "PA Cons discrim and use voiced and voiceless phonemes.doc" Added to the site as "PA Cons discriminate and use voiced and voiceless sounds.doc". The description about loud and quiet sounds has been left in the comments box for the third activity - this probably is the best place to put it for the sake of retaining the uniformity (and therefore readability) of the TAP sheets.
28/03/2007 "PA Cons to use word initial f s and sh.doc" Added to the site as "PA Cons use f s and sh at the beginnings of words.doc". Extra comments added to the sheet about the kinds of feedback people could use when doing these activities.
28/03/2007 "E P3 reaching to indicate more.doc" Added to site as "E P2ii reach to indicate wanting more of an activity.doc"
25/03/2007 New upload page New upload page added to the site aimed particularly at speech and language therapists and specialist teachers who are starting to use the site and have communication activities in non-TAP formats that they would like to contribute.
06/03/2007 "AR M P4P8 maths numbers counting resourse.doc" Renamed "AR M P4P8 large number cards 1 to 5.doc". The layout of the squares representing the numbers has been changed slightly to make it more consistent between each number.
06/03/2007 "ES L1 use a pronoun and an auxiliary verb.doc" Added to the site as "ES L1a use correct personal pronoun with verb to be eg he is.doc"
06/03/2007 "AR E L1 first next last sheet.doc" This has been incorporated into "MN P8 use first next last when describing a sequence in time.doc" as a small table in the resource list to show what this sheet should look like.
06/03/2007 "PHSE P4 using a visual timetable.doc" Saved as "PHSE P4 SCD use a visual timetable" in PHSE P4.
06/03/2007 "PSHE P6 reward charts.doc" Renamed "PHSE P6 SCD use a reward chart to modify own behaviour". These activities appear to be particularly aimed at children with a social communication disorder (SCD).
06/03/2007 "ES L1 2 adjectives plus noun.doc" Renamed "ES P7 use two adjectives plus a noun.doc". This is essentially a three key word activity, and the vocabulary used in it is suitable for a child working at level P7.
06/03/2007 "ES P6 three key word expression.doc" Moved from level P6 to level P7 and renamed "ES P7 three key word expression.doc"
06/03/2007 "ES P6 three key word expression with adjectives.doc" Moved from level P6 to level P7 and renamed "ES P7 three key word expression with adjectives.doc"
06/03/2007 "ES L1 use the words first next last.doc" Renamed "MN P8 use first next last when describing a sequence in time.doc" and added in to Maths Number P8. The QCA Maths Number P8 description has the idea of using these terms to describe position (for example in a race), it is not clear, however, whether this could also be extended to use in describing a sequence of events. Any better suggestion of a target area/level to put this TAP sheet welcome!
20/02/2007 "AR PSHE P4P8 interaction with peersInitiating interaction with Peer SCD" Added to the site as "PSHE P6 initiate an interaction with a peer.doc" and put in PSHE P6. The level of P6 has been chosen with reference to the BSquared "P Steps Summative Assessment". At P5 this has children working or playing alongside other children and maintaining interactions with some support, whilst at P6 it has children seeking out other children and playing with others for a short time. This sheet includes activities which could be used both in and out of school.
12/02/2007 "AR E L2plus asking for clarification.doc" Added to the site as "ES L3 ask for clarification.doc" in English Speaking Level 3.
12/02/2007 "EL P3 PreSch reachingEnglish listening P3 i.doc" Added to the site in Science Level P2i as "S P2i reach for objects in immediate environment.doc". The BSquared P Steps Summative Assessment was used to help arrive at a curriculum area and level for this activity sheet.
12/02/2007 "EL P2 encouraging looking and responding to adult.doc" Added to the site in English Level P2 as "E P2i looks at and responds to an adult.doc"
24/01/2007 "ES L2b communicate precise information to another person" Added to the site in English Speaking, level 2b.
24/01/2007 "ES L2b sequence steps in an activity or events in a story" Added to the site in English Speaking, level 2b.
16/01/2007 "ES L1a using a visually supportive framework to tell a simple story.doc" Several new activities have been added to this sheet. The sheet has also been renamed "ES L1a use a visual framework to tell a simple story.doc"
16/01/2007 "Commtap - categories.doc" Renamed "AR SM L1L2 activities for sorting by a variety of criteria.doc", and included in Science additional resources level 2. A couple of activities which are also in SM L2 sort items by property and function.doc were removed from this sheet.
16/01/2007 "Commtap - before and after.doc" Renamed "MS P8 before and after in time.doc". This activities sheet deals with "before" and "after" when used with time rather than when used with space.
28/12/2006 "ES L2 use word web to think about curriculum vocabu.doc" Renamed "AR E L2 using word webs for new curriculum words and concepts.doc" and added into additional resources for English level 2. Word webs can be used to support the development of vocabulary at a number of different levels and across curriculum areas, therefore this has been added to the site as an additional resource.
28/12/2006 "EL P8 organise pictures of daily routine.doc" Renamed "MS P8 organise daily routine pictures on school and non school day.doc" and added to Maths Shape Space and Measures. This skill is associated with an awareness of time through the day, and across the week, and therefore comes under the "measures" aspect of maths.
28/12/2006 "EL P8 plan sequence of steps in familiar activity.doc" Renamed "ES P8 plan steps in a familiar activity eg make a sandwich". Put in English Speaking P8 - this activity appears to be more around speaking than listening.
28/12/2006 "EL P8 2 part instructions with prepositions and pl.doc" Renamed "EL P8 two part instructions with prepositions and plurals.doc" and placed in English Listening P8.
21/12/2006 "ES L1 barrier games.doc" Renamed "AR E ideas for barrier games.doc" and placed in additional resources for English level 1. Note: the activities in this sheet are also suitable for working towards targets both lower and higher than level 1.
19/11/2006 "AR E L1 KS2 wordweb.ppt" Added to the site in English L1 additional resources as "AR E L1 word web what the words sound like.doc" (replacing the earlier copy of this document).
19/11/2006 "AR M P4P8 PreSch recognising the odd one out.doc" Added to the site as "MU P6 recognises the odd one out.doc". The use of "numbers" and "shapes" in the last activity has been removed as the recognition of these is specified as coming in at one p-level higher (at P7) in the QCA p-scales descriptions.
19/11/2006 "AR E P4P8 PreSch recognising facial expressions.doc" Added to the site as "ES P6 uses facial expression to support meaning.doc" in English Speaking with an extra activity.
19/11/2006 "Number Action Rhymes.doc" This sheet has been stored as "AR MN P4P8 number action rhymes.doc" under Maths P4 to P8 additional resources. An additional TAP sheet ("MN P6 does actions in familiar number rhymes.doc") has also been added to direct people to this activity.
19/11/2006 "S P4 matches related everyday objects.doc" New TAP sheet added into Science, P4.
02/11/2006 "EL L1a sounds syllables rhyme meaning of new words.doc" Edited version of this sheet with an extra activity.
02/11/2006 "EL P5 understand verb plus noun.doc" Added to the site in English Listening P5.
02/11/2006 "ES P7 using word webs.doc" This sheet has been added to the site as "ES L1a use word webs to think through new words.doc" (English Speaking Level 1a). It has been moved up to this level from P7 because of the level of reading skills a child would need to succeed in this skill. If the activities incorporated more picture support (for example picture symbols) then this target could be labelled as a P8 target (the skills of describing function and other properties of objects appear to be more suggestive of level P8 than P7 - see the QCA descriptions on Science Materials and their Properties and English Speaking for example).
02/11/2006 "AR E P4P8 word web semantic.doc" Added to the site in English L1 additional resources as "AR E L1 word web meanings.doc"
02/11/2006 "AR E P4P8 word web phonological features.doc" Added to the site in English L1 additional resources as "AR E L1 word web what the words sound like.doc"
02/11/2006 "AR E P4P8 word web group.ppt" Added to the site in English L1 additional resources as "AR E L1 word web meanings and phonology.ppt"
24/10/2006 "ES L1 understand and use adjectives.doc" Added to the site in Science Materials and their Properties Level 2 as "SM L2 use adjectives to describe and classify objects.doc". B Squared "Small Steps Summative Assessment" was used to help determine an appropriate level for this activities sheet. See the B Squared site for information about B Squared.
24/10/2006 "PA Voice KS2 slower speakingslow speaking target T3.doc" Added to the site in Phonology and Articulation - Connected Speech as "PA Conn KS2 slow down speech to help others understand.doc".
24/10/2006 "ES P4 use single words for actions.doc" This TAP sheet, which was already on the site, has been renamed as "ES P4 use single words signs or symbols for actions 1.doc"
24/10/2006 "ES P4 use singke words for actions 2.doc" Renamed "ES P4 use single words signs or symbols for actions 2.doc" and added to the site in English speaking P4
24/10/2006 "ES P8 identifying what is wrong.doc" Added to the site as "S P8 identify errors in pictures of everyday objects .doc" in Science P8 (the target is to do with observing the properties and functions of materials). Unfortunately we haven't been able to include the second activity originally in this sheet as it requires a specific commercial resource to do it, without a description of what the resource is.
15/10/2006 "MS P7 left and right.doc" This sheet has been used to create three new TAP sheets: "MS L2a understand and use words left and right on own body.doc", "MS L2a pupils use words left and right on objects in front of them.doc", and "MS L3 understand and use words left and right on others.doc". This is to reflect the typical developmental acquisition of these concepts. The typical age of acquisition of "left" and "right" when referring to one's own body is around 7 (which equates with level 2), with other uses being acquired later. For an abstract on research into this see: "Right-left orientation: development of correct use of right and left terms" (Rigal, 1994).
