Kay's Anatomy - Adam Kay - Whole Class Reading Session!

This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s comprehension skills through a reading of the opening section of Adam Kay’s ‘Kay’s Anatomy.’

The resource pack includes the extract needed. This is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. A vocabulary check helps to secure children’s understanding of any new or unfamiliar language.

The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities.

The session is best suited for children in years 3-5, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
