This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading a key extract from Fiona McDonald’s ‘You Wouldn’t Want to be an Aztec Sacrifice!’
The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the 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 extract needed is provided as a PDF and a link to a web-based version is also included on the first slide.
The session is best suited for children in KS2, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older age groups.
