A 6 week reading intervention module focused on building reading fluency and comprehension aimed at supporting students in Year 6 and Year 7 whose reading age is slightly below their chronological age. The theme of the booklet is superheroes. In each session, students read a 500 word text about a superhero and complete fluency activities before ending the session with comprehension questions. Full details are included on how the sessions can be delivered. Also contains an answer booklet for the comprehension questions. The superheroes covered are Iron Man, Superman, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Captain America and Spiderman. At the start and end of the unit, I recommend assessing students against Rasinski’s fluency rubric.

A lesson that encourages students to explore multiple interpretations of the thems and characters in Lord of the Flies to help reach bands 5 and 6 for A03. Students come up with their own 3 theories then compare them to mine before discussing which is the most valid perspective on the text.

The ‘because, but, so’ method is an excellent tool for teaching students to think analytically about each poem in the Power and Conflict anthology. This tool is powerful because it encourages students to expand their thinking with precision and detail. After studying each poem, I ask students to write a ‘because, but, so’ paragraph on it. This document collates ‘because, but, so’ paragraphs on all 15 poems as examples to assist students with revising the key ideas in each poem.

A revision activity that asks students to consider deeply the impact of the key 1 or 2 quotations in each poem. With so many poems to remember, I look to ensure all students have a high level of confidence with 1 or 2 key quotations from each poem that they can use to both zoom in to authorial methods for A02 then zoom out to explore authorial message for A03. There are two versions to the activity - a) one quotation per poem or b) two quotations per poem. The version you use will depend on your group and how much they can complete in a typical session.
