## Description

James and the Giant Peach , written by Roald Dahl, is a great book to target vocabulary development. These mini posters are organised by chapters with six to an A4 page (216 Mini Posters in total). Some shorter chapters are combined making 36 pages in total. All are in black and white with grey for contrast. Each poster has a discreet label for organisational purposes. The target word is obvious, followed by the part of speech category it belongs to in the context of the story. I have added an explanation for adjectives and adverbs because I have found my students get confused by these terms more than any other. There are two interjections included. The definition has been refined to reflect the meaning intended by the author (my interpretation), and the extract from the story will contribute to comprehension and retention to extend vocabulary. You could use them as a stimulus for creative writing or include them in a display.
