Oliver Twist Reading Unit

Now with SATs style reading questions!

This eight lesson reading unit uses the Marcia Williams version of Oliver Twist (although any suitable abridged version could be used instead, or indeed, the musical film).

The unit also focuses on the historical context of the book, enabling children to visualise what life was like in Victorian England and for those living in workhouses.

The life of Charles Dickens is also explored.

The reading objectives covered are from the Y5 curriculum, but this unit could easily be adapted for years 3 - 6.

All video links, text extracts and worksheets are included, so you’ll have everything you need, except the book itself.
