A week’s worth of resources for reading in Year 6 based on The Shark Caller by Zillah Bethell. Powerpoint draws attention to new vocabulary prior to reading during each day of the week. Text split into different days to link with vocabulary and comprehension questions. Order of teaching: Monday - share and read own class novel Tuesday - shared reading and guided comprehension questions Wednesday - shared reading and comprehension questions Thursday - independent reading and comprehension Friday - share and read own class novel

Planning of three lessons based on extract of Anthony Horowitz, The Hitchhiker. Including planning, text, differentiated questions and additional resources (extension question and character inference table). Used in Year 6 but could be adapted to a mature Year 5 class.
