KS3 English - Reading Comprehension Lesson & Plan - 14, "Cloak and Haddock" - Reciprocal Reading

KS3 Reciprocal Reading Scheme of Work

KS3 Read & Respond: A brand new, 10 lesson, fully planned SOW centered on reading comprehension using reciprocal reading strategies (fab 4 etc). In this new bundle are 10 more carefully planned lessons that aim to push KS3 students’ reading comprehension and essay/creative writing skills. You can view the [previous reading scheme of work here](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12445823), for another ten great lessons. Each of these new lesson focuses on a unique short story (all selected from the BBC 500 word contest) and includes a host of activities to guide learning, bolstering reading, comprehension and critical thinking/metacognitive skills. Perfect for whole school literacy. Each lesson follows four steps: Starter - Pre-contextualise the material with a fun warmup activity Read - Read through the material as a group with the help of bold images and vocabulary prompts Understand - Summarise the material and reflect upon its impact on the reader Respond - Produce either an essay, creative writing piece or other planned response to the short story. This SOW includes a detailed lesson plan for each of the 10 lessons, PPT’s full of images, worksheets, questions and examplars, as well as a printable version of each short story to read with the class. These lessons are perfect for a reciprocal reading intervention, and work 1:1 or with a class. This SOW also bakes crucial GCSE skills into the plan, preparing students to meet AO objectives whilst teaching them to consider the use of quotations to back responses.
