Year 2 KS1 Whole Class Reading Planning - Orion and the Dark

A week of whole class reading planning for Year 2 and Year 1 using the fantastic picture book Orion and the Dark

The planning consists of a 26 page PPT with 5 days of reading work.
Monday is focused on your class novel and has a starter activity based on the front cover of Orion and the Dark which involves 4 questions using the Retrieve, Infer and Predict skills.

Days Tuesday to Friday are all based on the picture book (broken down into approx 8 pages per day) and follow the same pattern.

Each lesson begins with an exploration of new vocabulary that children will be exposed to in that lesson.
This is followed by a section called Rapid Retrieval which is a selection of retrieval questions based on the day’s reading.
From there there are a range of more challenging questions (based on the KS1 reading content domains) for children to explore together and individually.

You do not need to own copies of the book as a link is provided to the book being read on YouTube.
