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.

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.

This contains an A4 page with 3 or 4 questions for every chapter of 'The Secret Mountain&' By Enid Blyton, except for the last four chapters that have blank pages for the children to use their own ideas and prove they have developed an understanding of different ways of showing you&';ve read a text! The book I used is a dual edition 'Secrets: The Secret Mountain & The Secret of Kilimooin&'. If you use a different version of the book you may need to change the page numbers in the headings. Good for more able younger readers. All the questions are linked to AFs.

One week of guided reading activities for year 3 with two set leaflet texts and a Read Write Inc text for the least able. Also accompanied by the spellings associated with the RWI text.

Using synonyms and pictures, can children guess the words? Long /I/ sound spelled 'i'

A spread sheet with four tabs - the first 100 HFWs, the next 200 HFWs, new statutory spelling list for years 3&4 and new statutory spelling list for years 5&6. Formatted to have 30 names sideways across the top so you can tick off the spellings given/learned/used etc. Only made it for my own use really but figured I may as well share - save someone 10 minutes!

Start by planning the problem effectively and then you’re more likely to have a great story. Ten clips to show just the main problem of the movies they’re from.

I do not own the copyright for any of these clips, merely the combination and key questions between.
