This resource includes 6 weeks planning for Guided Reading. For each week, it allows for a test per week (one lesson), working through the test (one lesson) and three days of whole class shared reading. This process follows the Mastery approach for whole class, using support for those who need it, with greater depth questions for those moving on. It follows 2 weeks on newspapers (using First News) and 4 weeks using Kensuke's Kingdom. There is a presentation for each day, using Activinspire (this can be downloaded for free by simply searching on Google, if you do not have it). Each presentation begins with an extract and a 'general' question to discuss and answer. Followed by support questions and then greater depth thinking. I have used this with my Y6 and the progress by all has been remarkable.
