Guided Reading Record Year 5
Use these guided reading records to assess your weekly reading objectives in class.
The met and revisit boxes are great for highlighting any reading objectives that need more reinforcement.
These reading records have been management and inspector approved as a useful assessment tool.
All the reading objectives are clearly stated to ensure full coverage of the reading curriculum.
These were very useful as an English lead too as they ensured good coverage of the reading objectives and progression throughout the primary school - see my bundle for records from Foundation Stage to Year 6.

Where the Wild Things Are
Phonics Blending Word Cards
These word cards are perfect for phonics games and visual aids in the classroom.
Includes each sound from the set 2 and 3 list (diagraphs and trigraphs).
Each card has a phonetically plausible word with matching picture and progress through the systematic phonics programme. Meaning as the child progresses through the cards, they will not come across a sound not previously learnt.
Phonics Writing Mat
This resource is helpful for children learning their phonics and are beginning to write using their sounds.
Each writing mat includes phonemes, words that match the phoneme and space for writing.
I have used these in the classroom by laminating them and children practised their writing with whiteboard pens. Also useful to have on children’s desks to help them refer to the sounds.
Includes 41 pages progressing through each sound (once children know initial sounds).

Phonics Cards and Writing Mats
Including all the sounds (following the initial sounds set) for your class to practise their blending and writing.
Phonics cards include a visual to support EAl pupils.
Writing mats are perfect for a visual at a child’s table when they are writing.

Here is a comprehension based on the popular book ‘Rosie’s Walk’.
Aimed at Key Stage One but would benefit struggling readers in Key Stage Two
or advanced Foundation Stage readers.
Contains a mixture of who, what, how questions. Mixture of multiple choice and written responses.
The lesson is simple - just read the book ‘Rosie’s Walk’ and give your children this comprehension paper to show their understanding.
These questions are also in the style of the Key Stage One SAT’s questions making it perfect practise for the National tests.
Grammar Revision KS1
Looking for a quick grammar lesson to help your class with the following:
Using capital letters
Rhyming
Present/past tense
Commas
All the skills needed to help pass the Year 2 grammar tests.
Whole lesson is ready to go and adapt it how you need to.
Phonics Lesson a_e Sound
Use this phonics lesson to teach the split digraph ‘a_e’ sound.
Perfect for learning the diagraphs - FS2 upwards.
Follow the slides to guide you through the whole lesson. (Notes help guide you through). I have used this as introducing the sound for the first time and as a recap.
Includes:
-Book themed focus - ‘Snail and the Whale’.
Blending and segmenting tasks,
reading tasks
writing tasks
challenge questions.
Visuals follow the Read Write Inc program.
Phonics Initial Sounds Bingo Game
For children learning the initial sounds, this is a perfect game to help them identify words beginning with each sound.
Following the Read Write Inc sounds progression I have used this two ways…
“I spy with my little eye something beginning with p…” and the child finds a picture on their bingo card or…
“Who has a h-a-t?” and the child finds the hat on their bingo card or…
You could give the child the sounds board and cut up the pictures to match them the other way.
Real life pictures are used for real life context.
It really helped my beginner readers.
