This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s comprehension skills through a reading of the opening chapter of Clive King’s ‘Stig of the Dump.’
The resource pack includes the extract and all of the activities for the session, which the class are guided through via a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation. The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the 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 session is best suited for children in Year 3 and 4, but it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups. The session is also suitable for home/ remote learning.

Stone Age - Whole Class Reading Bundle!
These whole class reading sessions aim to develop children’s comprehension skills whilst introducing them to an interesting range of texts focusing on the theme of the Stone Age. The three sessions include the extracts/ texts and presentations for the whole class reading sessions on: -Stig of the Dump - Clive King; -Wolf Brother -Michelle Paver; -Stone Age Non-Fiction Text - Who Were the First Britons? 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 KS2 (I have used them before with children in years 3-4) 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.
