Toys - KS1 Whole Class Reading Bundle!

These whole class reading sessions aim to develop children’s readng fluency and comprehension skills, whilst simultaneously building their understanding of toys, through a range of fiction and non-fiction texts.

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

-Toys in Space - Mini Grey
-The Paper Dolls - Julia Donaldson
-History of Toys (non-fiction text);

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 text 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 in KS1 (years 1 and 2), 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.
