Five activities based around the DERIC reading skills; decode, explain, retrieve, interpret and choice using the text Ruby’s Worry by Tom Percival.
These first five activities include;
- Exploring vocabulary relating to the word ‘worry’ and ‘explore’ using a word map, including exploring definitions, synonyms and antonyms and putting the word into context.
- Retrieval of information from the front cover to help predict what is going to happen in the story and look at key features such as the author and illustrator.
- PSHE/PSED work to support emotions of ‘worry’ including exploring a letter from the author to the reader and a ‘thinking mind map’ to help children deal with any worries that may be ‘stuck to them’.
- Exploring the author’s choices, why did he choose to write a letter to his readers?
- Decoding activities including read and draws to build fluency and put phonics into practice!
- KS1 SATs style questions to help children become more familiar with how these look and how to answer them.
All resources on powerpoint and can be used in lessons on the whiteboard or can be printed as a scaffold/support for children to work on or stick in books. There is also teacher notes attached to each slide which will help you tailor these lessons for your children and provide scaffold or challenge.
