I created these posters for my Year Five class, and now Year Four and Year Six use them as well at my school. Year Three uses some of the posters. I tried to keep them as simple as possible and really found my pupils referred to them and used them as a tool. I did not put on the display board all at once, but gradually. The large posters (A4) give a brief definition of the terms, and the mini-posters (half an A4 page) have example sentences using the parts of speech. Includes: -noun -verb -adjective -adverb -preposition -article (option for determiner as well) -conjunction (option for connective as well) -interjection -pronoun -modal verb -relative pronoun -synonym -antonym -homophone -homonym *updated November 2016 with: -main clause -subordinate clause -adverbial clause -expanded noun phrase -active/passive voice -standard English/non-standard English -personal/impersonal writing Hope you find these useful and that it saves you time! Kelli comments always appreciated!

I’m the English Coordinator at a small little school and I took on the task last year of developing a guided reading programme for KS2 as I noticed this was missing from the school. I have included: -the recording sheet I use with tricky vocabulary highlighted. -a sheet of individual pupil questions that they glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher. It will save lots of paper as I got 8 sets of questions per page. I am sharing this guided reading resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your guided reading lesson. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community. About this resource: I created this for a high ability guided reading group for Year 4. Please notice the pictures example I added at the end. Other resources available: Guided Reading: Sheep-Pig, Hodgeheg, Diary of a Killer Cat, Billy the Bird, Bill’s New Frock, The Iron Man, James and the Giant Peach Upper KS2 Guided Reading: Reading Assessment Focus tasks linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy, Indian in the Cupboard, Wreck of the Zanzibar, Carrie’s War, Artemis Fowl
