KS3 Library lessons booklet

This booklet takes KS3 pupils through a year’s worth of lessons in the library- enough for a lesson once a fortnight.

The booklet I have created has been trialled for two years in school and works well. I have had some excellent feedback from both students and teachers who have enjoyed the variety of work within it.

It begins with some work on the student’s reading history and then continues with group reading (we have 5 copies of each of the texts mentioned- you would need to edit to add your own book choices.) In my school I asked both teachers and parents to read the same book and this resulted in a book club discussion focused on key questions as generic prompts. If you download the resource and want the questions then please just email me for them. To develop this section even further I have asked my students to create ppt teasers for the books they have read to present ot the new yr7s.

After this section students delve further in to the library and explore different genre sections, picking out a few books that interest them and discussing the genre. These notes are collated in the booklet.

There is also a feedback section at the end.

This resource is a little more expensive as it is a year’s worth of work.
