**Guided Reading Carousel ** This planning has been designed for a 5 group rotation. Group 1 is a phonic group so planning is not provided for that due to schemes for schools. The other 4 groups are completely planned for based from 3 books: Grandpa comes to stay Dilly the Dinosaur The Julian Stories Within the resource pack you will find: PDF documents with guidance, and questions sheets for each book. Daily Planning Slides to support use and the carousel. Guided Reading Record Sheets Group 1 is a phonic group. I use a phonic scheme for this with my school so I have therefore not been able to share those resources for you. I have left this group on the plan as a full class would require 5 groups. Hopefully you can use and edit as you wish. Guided Reading Record Sheets You should find questions sheets with the reading domains and linked questions next to it. These are saved as weekly PowerPoints. This is for your reading folder documentation and assessment during the guided group reading with the teacher. You can use this to mark off who was able to answer what question, and assess children’s fluency in the different domains. There are 5 of these as on week 6 there will not be any Guided Reading sessions with the teacher as term comes to an end.

This resource is for children learning the continents and oceans. It is set out as a map with the continents in shadow form. The children then have to stick the continents and seas onto the map in the correct places, using the shadows as guidance. I laminated mine and used velcro tabs to make it a reusable activity for the children. This activity is a great way to develop memory skills, as well as an ability to plan, test ideas and solve problems. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMN7bTxoN/ tiktok link is above
