I created these tasks mainly to hit the NC statement, “increasing their familiarity with a wide range of books, including…modern fiction, fiction from our literary heritage…” after realising that many of my pupils had never even heard of (let alone read) many of the classic stories from our heritage. These tasks provide samples and accompanying tasks from 15 classics (both older and modern.)
Please note: the 75 files were too large for one listing on TES, so I’ve compressed them into a zip file. I’ve also uploaded one lesson separately (Hound of the Baskervilles) so you can see the resource.

*15 complete reading comprehension lessons, made up of:
-The extract in Microsoft Word format
-The extract in Notebook format (for Whiteboard projection)
-Questions with response spaces (plus points per question, like SATs papers)
-Just Questions (for higher ability pupils or just to save on photocopying!)
-Suggested answers (my TA does these tasks with small groups, so the answer sheet comes in handy)
Useful for:
-Whole-class comprehension lessons
-Small group work (E.g. Round Robin Reading Groups)
-Boosting / extra support for poor readers
Titles:
-Alice in Wonderland
-Great Expectations
