These are the Teacher Led questions for Guided Reading sessions based on the ORT Stage 16 Classics.

This pack was aimed at Y5 during the summer holidays, however it could be adapted slightly for Y3-6. It consists of various activities including maths, spellings, descriptive writing and geography. It is meant to be fun to engage the children (e.g. wordsearch and time tables raps). Each task is awarded points (thus ensuring all children in the class can access it) which children accumulate during the pack to obtain broze, silver, gold or platinum award....you can decide whether you give any prizes in return.

It may take more than 1 lesson to work through.

This resource is based upon measure for Y6 - to meet age related standards. It focuses on the link between area and perimeter (same area - different perimeter), area of triangles and parallelograms, volumes of cuboids, negative temperatures and time. Each day is supported by an Activinspire chart leading the children through the process. Each day has a worksheet, differentiated by 3 abilities. Where appropriate is will focus on the 3 areas of learning: fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Each day begins with '6 a day' - to improve arithmetic understanding.

This resource includes 3 articles taken from The Guardian (football, technology and environmental) with related questions. Suggested answers are included. These questions are aimed at supporting Y6 children in preparation for their SATs.

A selection of challenging vocabulary (to place on your display) with definitions, which challenges the children to use more complex choices. I have used it this year in my class and the impact on the children's writing was immediate. During an observation by an OFSTED inspection, it was high lighted as a really strength. The topics links to class novels and include: narratives, discussions, persuasion, poetry (rap and WW1), newspapers, reports and Britain Since 1948. The vocabulary links to both the writing genre and the medium (class novel). Class novels include: Skellig, Kensuke's Kingdom, Holes, Coraline and Once. These topics covered my whole year's teaching.

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.

This PowerPoint (also given in Activinspire format) is used as a staff INSET to support staff in delivering effective GR sessions.
