Week 3 Winnie The Pooh Whole class reading/extract comprehension/guided reading resource with an adaptive teaching approach for independent tasks (3 levels of differentiation). 3 lessons which can be taught across one week depending on your timetable or over 3 weeks. The lesson duration is between 30-45 minutes. Each lesson covers a different reading focus: Lesson 1 - Vocabulary and prediction Lesson 2 - Retrieval and inference Lesson 3 - Sequence/summarise/explain Included is the text extract linked to the lesson; a main teaching presentation which is delivered whole class with opportunities to practice the skill needed for the independent task. This covers a blurb, information about the author, practice questions based specifically on the skill being taught and a differentiated/adapted independent task (3 levels). The independent task is sized to fit on a sticky labels (A4 page with 4 labels) which pupils stick into reading comprehension books to then answer the questions. The texts chosen are specific to the ability of Year 3 and Year 4 but due to the nature of whole class reading, are suitable for those working below ARE. There are 8 weeks (24 lessons) in this block to cover a half term which have been uploaded separately, week by week. If you have time (ha!), please leave us a review. We would love to hear your feedback.
