I have developed a range of different reading comprehension questions based on ‘The Highwayman’, by Alfred Noys. The questions that have been developed are adapted from different SATs style questions from the new curriculum. There are 7 sessions in total, each comprising 4 questions. Each session gives some different visual style questions to develop the understanding of how children can answer them.

I have recreated a colourful OSIE grid. I find it nigh on impossible one on the internet that I like or want to use with the kids. As such, I have been recycling the same one for a while and decided to create my own. I have aimed to create a resource that is bright and interesting to look at. I have also used this as part of a working wall and added ideas around the poster. It is intended to be universal across all classes, but can be differentiated up or down as needed.

These resources have been made about the beginning of Wonder for chapters 1-5. There are 20 questions that include a range of visual style questions, find and copy as well as questions that require more detail (3 mark questions) The questions that I have created use the 2019 SATs style as a basis. In addition to this, there are a range of different words from the beginning of the book, up to page 15. The words are ones which children may find unfamiliar. The resource looks more at test based questions to develop understanding of how to answer questions.

Here is the second part of Wonder questions from pages 15-30. In the same style of part 1, there are a range of different questions types including visual style questions, find and copy and questions that require more detail. The questions have been taken from the 2018 and 2019 SATs paper. These questions also include ordering questions, which the previous questions didn’t. The questions also give the number of marks each question is worth, to show the complexity of the answers required. There is also a language sheet, looking at uncommon words that are given within the text, for children to use to accompany them as they read the text.

This is an excel document that allows you to analyse the data from SPaG results in a Year 3 assessment. I have used this to inform my starters and also as part of interventions if needed in subsequent lessons. Within the document, it colour codes the child's understanding and I have also included a mark scheme within the document that outlines what I gave the marks for. I did not create the test.

A simple resource for all the words key to the Lincoln Imp. I used within my unit of learning and had a positive impact on spellings.
