A guided reading worksheet to introduce or recap Ramadan. The first page of the work sheet is the task, and the second page is the answers so students can mark the work themselves.

Please find the guided reading inference lesson attached - This I did for an interview just last week and got the job as class teacher ! I had a small class of 15 children mixed ages from Years 3 -6 evenly split across the 3 tables and this lesson lasted for 30minutes. On each table I put a pair of boots, a picture/photo sheet , a piece of text as you will see from the powerpoint then a set of bronze, silver and gold level questions. The children had just over 5 minutes to look at the picture, look at the object and read the text followed by answering the questions. This was accessible to all and the questions were harder in each level - after 5 minutes they then took the question sheet with them and went to the next table and repeated the process. After 15 minutes or so I stopped them as they had all then completed the 3 tables of inference work and brought the children to the carpet. I then talked through my plenary questions on the person as the powerpoint. The children then completed the little feedback slip on my lesson. Both the Headteacher and governors really liked the lesson, as did the children and I have subsequently got the job ! Although it is based on me and my interests it could easily be adapted to suit anyone and encourage the children to play detectives for a change from the usual guided reading carosuel style activity - I feel this is a great lesson and great resource and would be a great revision tool in preparation for SATS particularly for Year 6 or just a different reading activity as I say for younger children. Any queries or questions do ask !!

This is a fantastic whole book planned guided reading unit based on the book Song of the Dolphin by Elizabeth Laird. The story is based in a Scottish seaside town where a young boy discovers how plastic and balloons is endangering local dolphins. The story also has a mystery as his mother disappeared and is rumoured to be a selkie. The main character and his friends have to find a way to convince a local supermarket to not release thousands of balloons to save the local wildlife. I have included a variety of different guided reading formats to focus on word choices, retrieve key informing and summarising aspects of the text. The questions are designed to easily fit English books as I have adjusted the margins so they fit. I hope your class enjoys this book as much as mine have always done.

Guided reading questions for Cosmic by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. Questions focus on vocabulary, retrieval, inference,author intent, author technique and giving explanations for answers using evidence from the text. Many questions written in KS2 sats reading style. Questions are labelled in red to show skill required e.g V = vocabulary, E = explain etc. Very useful for record keeping and analysing which skills children need more work on. As the chapters in the book are short (and we were aiming to build some reading stamina) questions are set across 2 or 3 chapters at a time. There are 6 or 7 questions in each section - 110 questions in total. Successfully used in Year 6 - children read chapters at home and completed questions in group work. Would be suitable for Year 5 and possibly Year 4 able readers too.

A chapter by chapter summary, clear and concise. Includes comprehension style questions for every chapter. Ideal for the busy teacher as a recap of the novel and the questions could be your starters/plenaries.
