Reading Activity Grid

A flexible and engaging Reading Activities Grid offering a variety of creative, comprehension based tasks designed to deepen learners’ understanding and enjoyment of a text. Suitable for use with any fiction book, the grid promotes choice, independence, and critical thinking through a range of visual, written, and imaginative activities.

Activities include:

Character tasks (e.g. fact files, new friends, opinion writing)

Story structure tasks (e.g. story maps, summaries, different endings)

Creative design (e.g. new front cover, poster, new blurb)

Vocabulary and comprehension (e.g. true/false quiz, interesting words, setting list)

Pupils are encouraged to colour each square once completed, making this a self-directed and visually motivating resource. It can be used over several weeks, as part of literacy centres, homework tasks, or guided reading follow-up.
