Text Talk Display

(0)
This resource is a display I have used in my classroom (Y6) to encourage the children to write more formally - like a text rather than spoken language. It includes 4 examples (both fiction and non-fiction) showing the children how spoken language can change to ‘text’ language. This has worked incredibly well developing their writing for the KS2 SATs.

Year 6 Reading comprehension for classics
sophieharris36sophieharris36

Year 6 Reading comprehension for classics

(0)
This PowerPoint leads the children through two extracts from classics (Lord of the Flies and Treasure Island) - there are questions linked to the texts (including vocabulary choices, inference, and summarising the text). Prompts then follow to allow children the chance to still work independently, with clues to the mark allocations. There then follows the mark scheme. This process is repeated for both extracts. There are also two ‘Going deeper’ questions. I have used this with my children in class with great success. Due to the complexity of the text, this can be used with older children.
