Grandpa's Garden - Two Whole Class Reading Sessions!

(0)
This resource pack of 2 whole class reading sessions aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills, through reading Stella Fry’s 'Grandpa’s Garden.’ The text reinforces science learning about seasonal changes, plants, and living things and their habitats. Children read the text (hyperlinked - free to read on Epic) in two stages. Each reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language. The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The sessions are best suited for children in years 1-2, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
