This bundle of guided / shared reading material, and the page numbers referenced therein, relates to “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens; specifically, the edition retold by Gill Tavner and published by Real Reads Ltd in 2018. Used initially with a lower ability Year 4 set.
Split over 6 weeks, each week works on a format where;
Day 1 is a first read using a word detective exercise which allows pupils to explore some of the more unusual vocabulary they encounter. A simple version of this is also included as differentiation.
Days 2 & 3 allow for further reads of the same section of the text, employing diverse sets of questions presented in a SATs style format with an indication in brackets of the VIPERS focus involved (ie. Vocabulary, Inference, Predict, Explain, Retrieve, Summarise).
Day 4 requires a further read of the same section of the text, encouraging pupils to generate their own questions with a VIPERS focus.
Day 5 allows for a contrasting non-fiction text to be considered (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT PROVIDED)
In addition, the standard questions for days 1 – 4 are all combined in a PowerPoint presentation.

Please find the guided reading inference lesson attached - This I did for an interview just last week and got the job as class teacher ! I had a small class of 15 children mixed ages from Years 3 -6 evenly split across the 3 tables and this lesson lasted for 30minutes.
On each table I put a pair of boots, a picture/photo sheet , a piece of text as you will see from the powerpoint then a set of bronze, silver and gold level questions. The children had just over 5 minutes to look at the picture, look at the object and read the text followed by answering the questions. This was accessible to all and the questions were harder in each level - after 5 minutes they then took the question sheet with them and went to the next table and repeated the process. After 15 minutes or so I stopped them as they had all then completed the 3 tables of inference work and brought the children to the carpet. I then talked through my plenary questions on the person as the powerpoint. The children then completed the little feedback slip on my lesson.
Both the Headteacher and governors really liked the lesson, as did the children and I have subsequently got the job !
Although it is based on me and my interests it could easily be adapted to suit anyone and encourage the children to play detectives for a change from the usual guided reading carosuel style activity - I feel this is a great lesson and great resource and would be a great revision tool in preparation for SATS particularly for Year 6 or just a different reading activity as I say for younger children. Any queries or questions do ask !!
Slides to help children learn how to read words in context as well as a short extract to analyse with children and answer SATs style questions. Also includes a comprehension sheet.
A work sheet which was made in response to lost learning during 2020.
This can be set as homework or used as a starter activity. This is an A4 sheet to be printed to provide two A5 work sheets.
Uses of the sheet include:
Spot the spelling mistake in the title - to be highlighted and corrected three times
Spot the key words - to be highlighted when seen. We asked pupils to write these in their books after or during the class discussion and word the definitions themselves.

I hope these sheets help someone. But before any negative reviews are left (as I’ve discovered that people on here can be unkind) please remember I am a non specialist.
Guided reading unit of work based on Michael Morpurgo's 'The Butterfly Lion', which includes:
- learning objectives tied to the 2014 National Curriculum
- reflection on previous learning
- opportunities to develop reading skills
- next steps in learning to bridge between sessions.
This sample includes the first two sessions; the entire 10 session unit, with editorial notes and book overview, is available as a premium resource for a competitive price.
It is anticipated that the entire unit of work would cover all the sessions in an entire term for one ability group.
A very valuable resource which will not only save you time but engage and enthuse your students in 'real' books.
