5 x Reading activities with a mountain theme, ideal for cross-curricula teaching and learning. Each extract is taken from a diary or memoir of a mountain climber, including a report from Mount Everest, and John Muir discussing his own travels. Students have to locate a series of words within the text - like a wordsearch. My class enjoy having a time limit and seeing who can find the most. This resource could be used in Guided Reading, as an English starter or as part of a broader Geography topic to inspire the students.

This activity includes 10 Classic Poems by familiar writers such as Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, and Hilaire Belloc. Each poem has a Skim and Scan activity to aid rapid word location. Additionally, there is a selection of Poetry questions that can be used with one or more of the poems to deepen poetry analysis skills and general reading comprehension.
