New! Key Stage 1 Literacy Marking Stamp

How many times have you written prompts to remind pupils to 'Use capital letters' or 'Remember full stops' or 'Finger spacing'? These early literacy skills can take a while to be remembered which means a lot of repetitive marking for teachers.

Designed by teachers, our new large format Key Stage 1 literacy stamp takes the strain out of marking - it saves teachers time by providing a checklist of 7 key literacy skills most often prompted:

• Write on the line
• Full stops
• Capital letters
• Finger spaces
• Sound out words
• Letter formation
• Full sentences

In addition, the stamp has feedback areas to provide positive comments on the work done and how it could be improved, An area to add spellings that need to be practised and finally, most crucially, an area for the pupil to sign, acknowledging that they have read the teacher's feedback and undertake to try and improve their work - all sealed with a signature, encouraging them to take ownership of their learning.

The Xstamper Nenga stamp is self-inking mount which will last for 2-3000 impressions, but cannot be reinked. The mount is exclusive to Classroom Capers & School Stamps and has been used to create a large range of teacher marking stamps. As with all our Nenga stamps they carry a 30 day no quibble guarantee and you have a choice of ink colours so you can ensure you conform with your school's marking policy as well as the option to customise the content. So if you would prefer different wording or just a slight change you simply need to buy the mount as a custom stamp and provide your amendments via email, quoting your order reference number.

If you have any queries on how to buy or customise this stamp contact either Jo or John - we'll be pleased to discuss how this stamp can be amended to suit your requirements.
