Ocean Creatures Whole Class Reading Bundle!

These whole class reading sessions aim to develop children’s comprehension skills when reading non-fiction texts. The three sessions include original non-fiction texts and whole class reading lessons on:

-Great White Sharks
-Blue Whales
-Jellyfish

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 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 sessions are best suited for children in years 2-4, although with minor adaptations they could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
