These whole class reading sessions aim to develop children’s comprehension skills, whilst introducing them to the novels of popular children’s author Michael Morpurgo.
The six sessions include the extracts/ texts and presentations for the whole class reading sessions on:
-Private Peaceful
-War Horse
-Kensuke’s Kingdom
-Born to Run
-Adolphus Tips
-The Butterfly Lion
Each whole class reading session contains a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. There is also a vocabulary check immediately after each extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities.
The sessions are best suited for children with years 4-6, although with minor adaptations they could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
The resources are also suitable for home/ remote learning.
