This short story -The Vacuum Cleaner - was written to appeal to children of Year 3 and above. It is used in guided reading sessions, for developing English comprehension skills and enhancing vocabulary.
The material is designed to be accessible to the majority of children in lower Key Stage 2.
The story comprises two distinct pages with a mini-cliff hanger at the end of the first page. Each page is designed to be used in either i) a single longer discrete lesson or ii) a series of shorter sessions.
To accompany each page of the story, a set of example questions and suggested answers is provided.
In the author’s school, three half-hour sessions are devoted to each page. In the first session, the children are introduced to the story and some of the questions are answered in a group setting. In the second session, the children answer the remaining questions independently. In the third session, the group reconvenes and the group discusses their answers and receives feedback.
