Mothers - Whole Class Reading Bundle!

These whole class reading sessions aim to develop children’s readng fluency and comprehension skills, whilst simultaneously focusing their attention upon the dedication, love and care of mothers.

The three sessions include the extracts/ texts and presentations for the whole class reading sessions on:

-The Best Mother: C.M. Surrisi;
-Her Mother’s Face: Roddy Doyle;
-Mother Teresa Non-Fiction Text.

Each whole class reading session contains a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. There is also a vocabulary check immediately after each text 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 sessions are best suited for children across years 2-3, although with minor adaptations they could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
The resources are also suitable for home/ remote learning.
