This resource book offers ideas for developing the reading and writing aspects of literacy as well as an inspiration for historical investigation. The Flashbacks novels themselves are offered as starting points to inspire children with ideas to spark their own responses to one of the most dramatic periods of world history. For each of the four World War II Flashbacks novels, there are five literacy lesson plans, each with at least one accompanying photocopiable worksheet. Each activity is directly linked to the requirements of the NLS, but links are also drawn to other curricular subjects. In addition, there are author studies, offering insights into the reading and writing of historical fiction, and an extensive bibliography.

Book Overview: Flashbacks are well-established as a high-quality and popular historical fiction series. The Flashback Literacy Resources have been published to support the novels and encourage their use in class sets in primary schools. But teachers don't need to buy all four novels to gain excellent value for money - activities can be adapted to suit any text, and the book also includes general activities. World War II is one of the most popular units of study in the KS2 curriculum. The WWII Flashbacks are amongst the bestsellers of the series, and boast bestselling and award-winning authors such as Herbie Brennan and Linda Newbery. Contains 20+ photocopiable activities. Each lesson is fully supported by instructions, including time limits, list of requirements, and links to NLS framework. Writing tasks vary in length and complexity. Extension activities are offered for more ambitious lessons.
