Hello! I recently made this key-ring word list reference for my students in my Year 5 & 6 Booster Group. I made a few sets so that I have 2-3 sets for school, and a few sets to send home with students. The words highlight special sounds and break words into syllables to help the children learn the words. The words are from the National Curriculum Year 5 & 6 word list. I have a similar resource for just Year 3 & 4 spellings. Additionally I have a resource for Phases 2-5 for a key-ring reference. This is a bit time-consuming to make, but I feel that it is absolutely worth it. Through trial and error, I have fixed the document so that hopefully it is not as labour-intensive for you as it was for me initially. STEPS: 1. Decide how you will copy the word lists. I chose to copy the cover (2 different options) on a separate colour. (NOTE: colour is a big deal. The children really like the colour!) Then I copied the first 8-9 pages on one colour, the next 8-9 pages on another colour, etc (there are 32 pages). I did this so that when students practise with their cards, they can break them up by colour (for example practising the yellow cards on Monday, the orange cards Tuesday, etc). 2. Laminate or print on cardstock. 3. Cut, hole punch and put on ring (as mentioned, this does take some time to assemble, but then the words are all in one place!) TIP: I told my students that this took a long time to put together and to really take care of it. I also told them to return it either when I ask or when they feel they have most of the words mastered. It is not to keep forever! Since I made a point of telling them this, they seem to understand a bit more. I ask them frequently how it’s going with their cards and what strategies they have for practising their cards (some say their parents test them, some practise in the car, etc). *I also included an editable letter for parents* I hope you can use this resource in some way!

WHAT’S INCLUDED: -genre posters (large and mini) -reading rockets for reading challenge -reading record cards -library labels (two different options) -reading challenge labels (genre and planet names) -zip file for A4 (UK, AU) and zip file for US Letter (US) Posters include: Biography & Autobiography, Informational & Reference, Fantasy, Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Mystery, Science Fiction, Classic, Humour, Poetry and Traditional Tales. One of my goals this year was to encourage our students to discuss genre more frequently. I started the year with these posters to create a display board about genre and included some author info posters and photos of students holding books they enjoy, along with some written bits and pieces from pupils about books they recommend, books they want to read this year, etc. Later on, I moved these posters to my classroom and added mini-posters to our library door. Tip: print the questions/title (Which genre do you enjoy?) on coloured paper to stand out. In addition to the display boards, I organised a large portion of our library books into book baskets by genre and authors (with laminated labels). I also have my Year Five and Six pupils record books they read on a card where they have to write down what genre the books are. Additionally my Year Five reading challenge is centred around genres (rockets reading challenge: each planet represents a genre; read a book, write a book review and get genre ticked off on individual rocket). Hope you can use some/all of the resources! Kelli x

Hello fellow educator! 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. Please note that this resource is in PDF and Power Point so that you can edit it to how you see fit. This particular resource for Peter Pan has a focus on vocabulary. As this novel is written over 100 years ago, it contains archaic language and concepts. I used it with students prepping for the 11+ exam. Please note that the Guided Reading Record Sheet has the vocabulary presented as it comes up in each chapter. The vocabulary at the end of the resource is designed to be shared with students in the form of bookmarks or similar to support independent reading. –OTHER READING RESOURCES— Guided Reading Record with questions: James and the Giant Peach The Iron Man Sheep-Pig Billy the Bird Butterfly Lion Charlotte’s Web Hodgeheg Upper KS2 Guided Reading (vocabulary support): Reading tasks linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy Indian in the Cupboard Diary of a Killer Cat Wreck of the Zanzibar Carrie’s War Artemis Fowl Kind Regards, Kelli

Hello fellow educator! I am sharing this guided reading/comprehension resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your lessons. 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. Please note that I left this resource in Word so that you can edit it for your needs. There are also PDFs. Please note that there are questions for every chapter and writing prompts for every other chapter. It’s there for you to pick and choose. A little about me and this resource: I was the English Coordinator at a UK school and I took on the task one year of developing a guided reading programme for KS2 (ages 7-11) as I noticed this was missing from the school. I have included individual pupil questions and/or writing prompts that students glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher/independently. About this resource: I created this for a high ability guided reading group for UK Year 3 (US 2nd/3rd grade). I have also used these questions with reluctant readers and students I have tutored. Kids love Charlotte’s Web!
