This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading an information factfile about caves. It includes information about how caves are formed, use of caves, cave wildlife and well-known examples of caves.
The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The extract needed is provided in both PDF and Word format.
The session is best suited for children across KS2, I have previously used the resources with years 3, 4, and 5.
