This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading an interesting non-fiction introduction to the Rnaissance period. It includes information about what the Renaissance period was, how it started and the impact that it had upon the world. The text is two A4 sides in length.
The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. This is provided on a visually-attractive, easy-to-follow PowerPoint presentation. 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 upper KS2 and lower KS3, I have previously used the resources with children in years 5 and 6.
