A feedback booklet responding to the Language Paper (Mr. Fisher) tackling key skills and exam strategy techniques.

A unit of work exploring ‘Ghost Stories’ and tackling reading skills for individual classes/students. This booklet has room to develop ideas, challenge, and differentiate tasks (we do this based on Accelerated Reader data). Through these lessons, students develop: annotation skills, comprehension skills, decoding, tackling tier-2 language, and many other skills. The final task is a competition where students create and perform their own ghost story based on the extracts and short stories they have read each week.

Over 80 extracts to create a culture of reading across the school. All linked to literacy calendar of events, challenges, and celebrations.

A 7-week booklet of study for ‘Treasure Island’ with evidence-based strategies to develop comprehension, reading fluency, and other intervention strategies identified by Accelerated Reader STAR tests. Easily adapted to suit the needs of the class. This is an adaptation to our current SOL and therefore, it is only from Page.60 onwards of the Wordsworth Edition of ‘Treasure Island’.

A collection of starter tasks and academic reading sheets for a full study of ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell.

This sequence of lessons could last between three and five lessons depending on ability. It is easily adaptable, but is full of challenging and creative tasks to stretch and support a range of abilities. A great introduction to poetry and techniques, showing students how to annotate and structure a response also. It also analyses Still I Rise in great detail. This sequence has a lot of scaffolding, which can easily be removed for higher ability.

A fully-resourced, contextual booklet compiling of POST-READING activities to apply knowledge and skills developed throughout a cold-reading of ‘An Inspector Calls’.

A booklet comprising of a series of tasks and exam strategies to develop the quality of response to the essay question around the portrayal of change in ‘A Christmas Carol’.
