Review
"Each activity has a symbol indicating which learning styles it suits. This is very useful if you are working with a small group that you know well and need an extra activity in a hurry, or if you get called upon to cover for someone and all their planning is at home. Although the activities are aimed at 7-14 year olds, they could be adapted for gifted and talented pupils in Key Stage 1" Learning Support, February March 2006 Issue

Thoroughly Useful!
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!

A must for any teacher!
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.

A must have book
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.
