Year 6 SATS Reading Author Purpose Worksheets

Year 6 SATS Reading Author Purpose Bundle

**This is a SATs reading author's purpose bundle of a PowerPoint, taking Y6 children through the process of answering author's purpose questions, and then a pack of worksheets (texts and author's intention questions).** **The PowerPoint resource** takes pupils through the process of answering authorial intent SATs questions. There is then a modelled answer, showing the author’s intention question answered using the steps. After this, there are four texts (two stories, one poem and one non-fiction text) so that pupils can have a go at author’s purpose questions independently. There are three questions for each of these texts and all answers are provided. At the end of the PowerPoint, there is a ‘can you remember the steps?’ slide, for children to talk with a partner and see if they can remember what they have learnt. This slide would be great for enlarging and putting up on a working wall as a reminder of the process. What’s included? * 28 slides * 5 different texts - fiction/non-fiction/poetry * Steps to success * Author’s intent questions (13 in total) * Answers * Summary slide at the end **The worksheet pack** includes 5 different texts - a mix of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. There are then 20 author's purpose questions focusing very specifically on the author’s purpose. To help you to introduce the worksheets, there is also a steps to success guide included, which takes pupils through the important elements of answering an author’s intent question. This can be enlarged to go on a working wall or given to the children as a revision aid. The worksheets have a front cover, too. This means it can easily be given as homework or as a supply activity if you need to be away from your class close to SATs.
