Harry Potter - Guided Reading (Year 6)

This resource is a Guided Reading unit of work based on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. It is suitable for Year 6 classes and contains a variety of questions in a SATS style format.
Within the pack are two highly detailed resources that are 24 lessons worth:
The Harry Potter teacher pack - a series of key questions for each lesson based on a chronological breakdown of the novel. Each question is based on a criteria to test different aspects of children’s reading abilities from inference, deduction and retrieval. Answers are given for the key questions in the notes and space is left for notes taken on children’s feedback. Questions can be added or altered based on class needs.
The Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone Activity Booklet - 8 separate comprehension activities in a SATS style layout, designed for independent reading and completion. These occur every third lesson and contain a key as to what type of question is being asked of the children so that they can practice a range of reading skills.
This unit is taught through a three lesson framework per week but can be taught continuously. Lesson 1 of three is a shared reading lesson where teachers and children read the given chapter together with the teacher stopping for questioning and prompting.
Lesson 2 of the three is a discussion lesson where children re-read the previous days lesson independently given a set time and then apply their growing comprehension skills to retrieve, infer, summarise and predict as a group. Teacher and class feedback then allows formation of answers to the given questions.
Lesson 3 is an independent activity lesson where children read the next section of the novel and complete the activity page based on their reading and growing understanding of reading comprehension.
