Hello fellow educator!
I am sharing this guided reading resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your guided reading lesson. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community.
Please note that I left this resource in Word so that you can edit it to how you see fit. I hope nothing gets mixed up since I didn’t put it in PDF.
A little about me and this resource: I’m the English Coordinator at a little school and I took on the task last year of developing a guided reading programme for KS2 as I noticed this was missing from the school. I have included the record sheets I use (not entirely mine as I found this somewhere and made some changes) as well as the individual pupil questions that they glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher.
About this resource:
I created this for an average ability guided reading group for Year 3.
Included
-2 reading response options for each chapter: reading comprehension and usually parts of speech connection or writing connection (diary, letter, newspaper)
-Guided Reading Record Sheet with old AFs and vocabulary for each chapter identified
-IT’S IN WORD SO YOU CAN AMEND WHAT YOU WANT!
Other resources available:
Guided Reading: Sheep-Pig, Billy the Bird, Diary of a Killer Cat, Bill’s New Frock, Butterfly Lion,
The Iron Man, James and the Giant Peach
Upper KS2 Guided Reading: Reading Assessment Focus tasks linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy,
Indian in the Cupboard, Wreck of the Zanzibar, Carrie’s War, Artemis Fowl, How to Train Your Dragon
Kind Regards,
Kelli
This bundle of guided / shared reading material, and the page numbers referenced therein, relates to “Cliffhanger” by Jacqueline Wilson; specifically, the Corgi Yearling edition published in 2009. I used this text and material with a mixed ability Year 3 class, a Year 4 class and with an EAL group.
Each chapter has a diverse set of questions presented in a SATs style format with an indication in brackets of the VIPERS focus involved (ie. Vocabulary, Inference, Predict, Explain, Retrieve, Summarise). Chapters 1 - 5 have these sub-divided into two sets and, have two word detective exercises which allow pupils to explore some of the more unusual vocabulary they encounter. In addition, the questions are all combined in both ActivInspire and PowerPoint presentations.
This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading, by domain. Domains 2b and 2d are weighted more in these comprehensions to match the weighting of the end of KS2 Reading Comprehension assessment.
Included:
• SATs style comprehension questions for the first sixteen chapters of the novel.
• A teaching PowerPoint with an introduction to the author, their other works and copies of the questions.
Please view the sample pages for an idea of the questions and expectations.
This resource works best if the chapter is read, talked about and discussed in one day, then comprehension questions are given the day after.
This resource has been used with both Year Five and Year Six classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores.

I’m the English Coordinator at a small school and I took on the task last year of developing a guided reading programme for KS2 as I noticed this was missing from the school.
I have included:
-the recording sheet I use (not entirely mine as I found this somewhere and made some changes)
-a sheet of individual pupil questions that they glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher (again not entirely mine as I found some questions here and there). It will save lots of paper as I got 8 sets of questions per page.
I am sharing this guided reading resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your guided reading lesson. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community.
This Guided Reading prompt is great to use when listening to a group reading.
All the questions have been given an AF number enabling teachers to assess the progress of their readers.
Teachers do not need to worry about asking questions on the spot, with this useful teaching aide.
Ideal for reading levels 3-4.
All about Flamingos! Use our resource for independent study, guided reading or use the prompt questions to aid retrieval skills in literacy.
