This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading, by domain.
Included:
• Comprehension questions for the first eleven chapters of the book.
• A teaching PowerPoint with an introduction to the author, their other works and copies of the questions.
This resource works best if the chapter is read, talked about and discussed in one day, then comprehension questions are given the day after.
This resource has been used with both Year Five and Year Six classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores.
Ideal for a whole class fun, interactive game, or this file can be saved in a shared area for children to practice with on their laptops or tablets.
This resource contains spinners for:
Concrete, collective or abstract nouns
Adjectives and prepositions
Coordinating or subordinating conjunctions
Naming and using punctuation
The past and present progressive
The present and past perfect forms of verbs
Adjective or adverb? -ly words
Modal verbs - certainty or possibility?
The active and passive voice
Relative pronouns
The past, present and future tense
Prefixes and suffixes
Synonyms and antonyms
Determiners
Homophones
Mixed practice
N.B - This resource uses the ppsx format, which all modern Windows operating systems use. It is an automatic PowerPoint presentation format that has been used for your ease.
These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the 2023 Year Two SATs Papers for Reading.
The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability.
If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2023 SATs with that score. If it goes Purple, it means that child would have achieved a ‘Greater Depth’ score for that tested subject.
I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score.
All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong.
The sheets are set up for 30 or 60 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken.
I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers.
Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.
