Little and often, every day. I used these as a task to do every morning/day.
12 weeks worth of graduated HFW spellings and handwriting patterns. Each document has four pages for differentiated homework.
I used these for a year 2/3 class who covered P6 - L4.
I have used a font that I paid for at home, you may need to change it to your school font.
Only appropriate to use if your school uses the Rising Stars comprehension books for year 6.
I have scanned in each of the texts and questions to guide the children through the comprehension. Each text has a thesaurus challenge which supports children’s vocabulary aquisition.
All PowerPoints have the answers on the last slide so the work can be marked.
I anticipate each Powerpoint will take approximately half an hour to run through.
KS2 Year 6 World War 2 Guided Reading Activities
Three texts linked to WW2 with comprehension questions. I have also included the sheet I used to encourage the children to make up their own questions, considering what type of question they’re asking.
Anne Frank Background
Blitz Report
The Lion and the Unicorn(scanned book with questions on most pages)
I used these in whole class reading sessions where children took it in turns to read the text to the class before we discussed the questions. They were then given time to record their own answers.
KS2 SAT Buster Reading CGP ‘walkthroughs’
PowerPoints to accompany the CGP Reading workbook for the following texts
Non-Fiction: Dare to Dance; 1950’s Drive In; Inside the World of Jam
Fiction: Underground City; The Old Photograph; A Visit to Baba Yaga
Poetry: Lost Dog; The Gentlemen in Grey; Kite Flight
I used these to support my less able and on track children to prepare for their reading SATs. These power point breaks down the texts into paragraphs, challenges them to develop their vocabulary and dictionary skills and goes through each question one at a time, highlighting where the answer is taken from.
Best used in a whole class setting where every child has their own SAT buster book to write their answers in. Each of these PowerPoints was used for a guided reading session of 30 minutes and took two or three days to complete.
