Love Heart Literacy assignment
Submitted by Maggie Harnew on 4 February 2008.
Covers alphabetical ordering, adjectives, reading comprehension, sentences and web research for E2-L2.
Sadly the original background history (on which the comprehension is based) is no longer available on the Swizzels Matlow or Love Heart sites. However related information can be found at the following sites which can make a good introduction to the assignment.

Error fixed
A small error in the Entry comprehension text has been corrected (wrong date of fire was given). Many thanks to Jill Machin for reporting the error.
Teaching tip
When I do this, I keep some ‘eating’ Love Hearts separate from the rest because I wouldn’t fancy eating something that’s been pushed around a mucky table by potentially mucky hands!
