5 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Useful!   February 22, 2005

Suitable for upper KS2 and secondary level, this is a great collection of literacy starters and warm-up activites. Many of the activities and games could be adapted for KS1 and lower junior. Corbett covers virtually every aspect of sentence structure and language use in this gem. He is an inspiring writer and his ideas have really livened up the start of literacy lessons in my year 5 class.
Highly recommended!

I have Jumpstart for over 3 years now and it has been invaluable in my Literacy planning. The games are split into sections, some are quick, others need more time - but all of the games are wonderful. My class has several firm favourites, and I have been particularly happy with the spelling games, of which many are now being played at the children's home whilst learning their spellings for the week. Jumpstart games can be applied to any year group and I would recommend it to any Teacher.

I love it! The children in my class love it!

It is full of literacy starters and games to get children thinking. It fits really well with the Ros Wilson 2020 / Big Writing and the Literacy Hour.

I wouldn't be without it.

This book is full of fantastic, short activities that are perfect for literacy starters. They can also be 'played' during any spare time you have (maybe a couple of minutes before lunch or at the end of the day). Suitable for all KS2 children (I teach y5), and could be easily adapted for younger children. I have noticed an improvement from all my children's sentence level work after playing a selection of these games for only a few weeks.

This book is brilliant, filled with endless games to play during every aspect of literacy. I bought it to go with Letters and Sounds to make the sessions more interesting..i would recommend this book to any one who works with children during literacy who require a few extra ideas on how to make learning more fun.
