There is also a PDF of the text included that was downloaded from: http://ebooks.rahnuma.org/children/Stories/Roald.Dahl/Roald.Dahl_Esio-Trot.pdf This was based on 3x sessions in the first week and 4x sessions in the second but could easily be adapted for longer or shorter time periods. The initials after the questions refer to our school reading characters (Deep Detective, Rich Retriever, Super Summariser, Word Wizard) but can be edited to your own or erased.

A poster to describe Complex Sentences. I refer to this throughout the lesson and then display it on my Working Wall after for children to refer back to. PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THIS TIME THIS RESOURCE IS NOT CURRENTLY EDITABLE.

Magic Editing Pencils

I print and laminate each Magic Editing Pencil’s and give one to every child in my class at the start of the year and train them to refer back to them when they have finished writing anything. They are a simple way of helping remind children to look for missing punctuation or correct silly mistakes etc. whilst still giving them the autonomy to do this independently! I have used this with both Year 4’s and Year 6’s and found them to be vital in my classroom - I hope they are helpful for you too!

7 weeks worth of the PowerPoints used and planning for LKS2 Reciprocal Reading sessions. Save yourself some time! Slides cover predictions, clarifying, questioning and summarising. These sessions were mainly teacher-led but the boss role is easy enough to follow using the slides for a child to lead. The initials after the questions refer to our school reading characters (Deep Detective, Word Wizard, Rich Retriever) but can easily be erased or edited to your own. A chapter is covered per week (3x sessions per week) but it could easily be adapted to suit your needs!

The Writing Process Pencil Tracker Poster

This is my favourite thing I’ve added to my classroom! I use this on my Working Wall to keep a bit more of a closer eye on where the children are during writing sessions. This way I can easily work out who I need to see next. For example, if after 2 minutes there’s 3 children on publish, or equally if after 50 mins there’s 3 still on planning, I know I need to check their work quickly. At the end of each session, the children put their books away and move their location marker (which has their name on) to the part of the writing process that they think they’re on. This helps me better prioritise which to mark and plan small group interventions in the next lesson if I don’t have time to mark in-depth all of the children’s work before the next lesson. It also really helped the children’s writing stamina and understanding that writing isn’t one quick lesson! Equally, it gives me lots of opportunity to help address children’s self-assessment skills - we occasionally pair and share each others work and discuss which part of the process we think that person is on. This helped the children develop in their own self-assessments. The colours match with my schools writing policy (purple ‘polishing’ pen corrections etc.) and my Writing Working Wall colours in my own classroom but if there are other colours you’d prefer, please pop a comment on and I can work on another one for you :) Please note that this resource is not editable at present
