A 21 lesson Guided Reading unit of work based on the book ‘Horrid Henry Meets the Queen’. This was used in a Year 2 class but it can be tweaked to be used in Lower Key Stage 2.
Tried and tested in Year 2 and our children loved it! They were desperate to find out what happened next. It also inspired some of our reluctant readers to get into Horrid Henry books and read more regularly. There is a heavy focus on simple retrieval and vocabulary questions which prepared children to apply these skills when facing unknown texts.
This unit of work includes:
21 fully resourced lessons
Simple planning to follow
PDFs of the book to look at together with the children.
SMART Notebooks pages for each lesson.
The symbols are from our school Guided Reading policy and indicate the style of question - includes using background information to connect to the text, visualising, prediction/I wonder style questions, think like a detective inference skills, building the gist and vocabulary checks.
