Upper KS2 Comprehension Activities Booklets Bundle! (aligned with the New Curriculum)

These resource booklets contain a wide range of age-appropriate, engaging, and meaningful comprehension activities for use in guided reading sessions. They are perfect for aiding the progress of children towards meeting the Year 5 and Year 6 expectations within the new National Curriculum framework. Children love learning from these resources, whilst they are also of great use to teachers, as there is explicit information within each task regarding which comprehension strands the task is designed to demonstrate. They are also generic enough to ensure that they are appropriate for use with all texts.

Both the Year 5 Booklet and the Year 6 Booklet (normally 2 pounds each) are included. I’ve also thrown in a literacy writing mat for free!

Examples of activities within the booklets include:
- Word Tennis - to enable students to demonstrate that they can: ‘Discuss their understanding of new words, and explore the meaning of words in context’
- Conventions Bingo - to enable students to demonstrate that they can: ‘Identify and discuss themes and conventions in writing.’
- Rap Battle - to enable students to demonstrate that they can: ‘Read aloud poems, and perform playscripts.’
-Court Case: Defending a Text - to enable students to demonstrate that they can: ‘Provide reasoned justifications for your views, Explain and discuss and understanding of what has been read, including through presentations and debates, maintaining a focus on topic.’’

Plus many, many more activities (each booklet is around 20 pages in length!)
