The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentations guide students through a wide range of activities, including those designed to enhance the following skills: retrieval, understanding vocabulary, inference, explanation, summarising, sequencing, analysis and deeper thinking activities. Additional worksheets and templates are also provided where needed for the creative tasks.

All of the resources and tried and tested in real classrooms, catalysing excellent outcomes. The resources are suitable for students across KS2 (I originally used them with year 4 and 5 classes).
