I’m the English Coordinator at a small 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 (not entirely mine as I found this somewhere and made some changes)
-a sheet of individual pupil questions that they glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher (again not entirely mine as I found some questions here and there). 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.

These narrative writing resources were created to help my students when they were planning their narrative writing. I like to laminate them (double-sided on coloured paper) so that students can have them at their desks and support their writing. Many students struggle with the structure of narrative writing and I wanted to give them support in a similar way to word mats.
Included in this resource:
-how to start a narrative (brainstorming)
-genre
-planning (with scaffold questioning)
-hooking your reader
-how to move the story along
-conflict ideas
-elements of plot
-how to end
-narrative checklist (not entirely mine, pieced together form here and there)
-narrative writing word mat (transition words, words instead of said, adverbs, senses, figurative language, character feelings, setting ideas, adding tension, punctuation)
-text extracts for highlighting feature of narrative writing/annotation
If you like this, I also have word mats for adverbs, verbs, openers, etc called Word Mats: Key Stage Two English
