This download includes 1 Word Document of reading comprehension activities for chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 21. The activities link with the comprehension stratagies, prior knowledge, metalinguistics, main ideas, visualisation, critical analysis, summary and inference. The activities were co-created by a colleague and I when teaching this book as part of a modeling block. Some chapters are missing. I found it important to remind the children to answer in full sentences and provide evidence where possible to back up their ideas. I hope you can use this download as inspiration or to support your own reading lessons.

This download contains 1 PowerPoint file with 1 slide. This PowerPoint will allow you to display information to your class including the day and date, weather (drag the icons on the right as appropriate), lunches or other information, morning challange, a quote (I’ve included my favourite “be your best self”), and a fact of the day! Morning slides are a great way to display information to the children for their arrival into the class. With practice, the children can become independant in getting on with their morning challange or sorting out their lunches (whatever works for your class). This PowerPoint is fully customisable (text/ colour/ size). In the classroom I’ve jazzed our morning slide up by using different fonts, I am unable to share these as I do not have copyright for commercial purposes.
