Geography Non-Fiction Texts - Whole Class Reading Bundle!

These whole class reading sessions aim to develop children’s comprehension skills, whilst introducing them to a number of Geography non-fiction texts.

The three sessions include the extracts/ texts and presentations for the whole class reading sessions on:

-The World Book - USA, Mexico and Brazil;
-Beach Explorer - How Beaches are Formed, Beach Plants and Animals
-The Ordinance Survey Kids’ Adventure Book - Introduction to Maps

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 within years 3-5, 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.
