KS1 Whole Class Reading lessons - Ruby's Worry - Part 2

Part 2 - Five more activities based around the DERIC reading skills; decode, explain, retrieve, interpret and choice using the text Ruby’s Worry by Tom Percival.

These last five activities include;

• Exploring vocabulary relating to the word ‘unexpected’ and ‘sad’ using a word map, including exploring definitions, synonyms and antonyms and putting the word into context.
• Exploring the phrase ‘the words tumbled out’ to help children infer meaning and look at familiar words in different contexts.
• Retrieval of information from the text and pictures.
• PSHE/PSED work to support emotions of ‘worry’ including strategies to help children.
• Exploring the author’s/illustrators choices, why are the pictures in black and white with limited colour?
• 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.
• Ordering/Retelling and Summarising activities
• Finishing with a reflection back on their initial predictions.

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.
