These are the PowerPoints that I rolled out to my school as part of my role as whole school Literacy co-ordinator. The task on each PowerPoint should last about 25 minutes; the remainder of the lesson spent reading for enjoyment. Within each PowerPoint you have a differentiated task for year 7,8 &9. Printable worksheets with these too! I have more week-by-week focuses; look in my shop :)

This is a nice little resource to use that will get students using their inference skills. The students have to match the small section of the text to the relevant illustration. This works well for students cutting them out and sticking them onto A3.

The 1st PowerPoint can be delivered in a number of ways and there are many questions based around the main characters that enable learners to empathise with them. The 2nd PowerPoint then focuses on the female characters and the planning and writing of an empathetic response. This could possibly be used over 3 lessons.
