Harry Potter - Retrieval Skills - SATs Year 6

This is a sequence of four lessons that focus on developing students’ retrieval skills for the KS2 SATs.

For each lesson there is an excerpt from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (approx. 2 pages long and the length of a text on the SATs). There is also a series of questions that follow each excerpt (these are all related to developing retrieval skills).

The excerpts of text are copyright of the owner - JK Rowling.

There are also some PPT presentations included that look at different types of retrieval questions (the ‘tick it’ question, the 5W questions, etc.).

I have also included a starter activity for some of the lessons - these focus on scanning skills.
