Whole Class Guided Reading KS2- Biography

This lesson focuses on 3 NC objectives:

-Draw inferences such as inferring characters’ feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions, and justify inferences with evidence
-Ask questions to improve their understanding
-Retrieve, record and present information from non-fiction

Pupils will look at a short extract from the text and be asked to infer what the text is about. They will then read the text as a class with the teacher posing questions throughout. They will then complete comprehension questions on the text before ‘hot-seating’ the subject of the biography to better understand their life.

This lesson is suitable to KS2 children but can easily be modified to suit KS3.
