The success criteria are also included in the slide and a question at the end asking the chn to explain what they have learned today!

This is such a useful worksheet to give to the children when they are free reading. Once they have read for a certain amount of time they can write about what they have read. This encourages the children to summarise and conclude what they have read. It also helps the teacher to see if they have actually been reading! There are two spaces on the worksheet where the children can note down any new words they like or any words they don't know the meaning of; and can they use a dictionary to find out the meaning! If I don't put these worksheets on the tables during guided reading, the children start asking for them! Can be edited and will save time!

MA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. LA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. For this group the Address was already written.
