If you are after a full 5 week unit, this can be found in my store also. Introductory Whole Class Reading sessions introducing The Worst Witch book. Focuses on VIPERS.

Lesson by lesson activities based on reading skills - between one and two written activities per week, verbal activities for other lessons.

Each written sheet is created on Publisher so can be printed as is (have attached some as word docs so these can be previewed before purchasing). All extracts from the book are on the SMARTs so therefore the book does not need to be to hand for children or even photocopied!

Includes written plan, lesson slides on SMART notebook (PPTS available also) and lesson resources for each lesson.

All based around different Roald Dahl extracts, which are included on the SMARTs so no need to own the books! Involves SPAG and writing activities throughout and ends with a final written assessment piece.
