This Assembly has been used to promote reading among pupils.
The PowerPoint uses engaging images as prompts to guide pupils through the benefits and importance of reading, the lessons to be learned from famous novels, while also offering pupils the opportunity to discuss their favourite books. The script for the assembly is easy to follow, with corresponding slides for the PowerPoint labelled for ease.
Alternatively, a version of the powerpoint that combines the presentation and script is also included.
It is also interactive, allowing for audience participation.
This has been used as part of a wider initiative to promote reading throughout the school.
Contains three classic fiction text extracts accompanied by SATs style questions with answers. The final text in the year 6 reading test is often very challenging and the associated questions require depth of understanding. It can be difficult to find suitable texts and develop suitable questions to practise the skills needed to do well in this section of the SATs reading paper.
This resource can help. It contains three:
Challenging classic fiction texts
Mini-tests containing 10 questions which are similar in style to those commonly found in this section of the test including questions linked to inference, evidence and impressions.
Answer sheets similar to the markschemes used in SATs.
Reading the text and answering the questions for each mini-test will take about twenty minutes - approximately the same amount of time the children will have to complete the last section of the reading test during SATs. This enables this resource to be used for test practice to develop test technique. The answer sheet can then be used to analyse and discuss suitable answers.
The comprehensions are based on the following books:
-Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
-Anne of the Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
-The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit

Do you want some support in giving a clear method with examples and practice questions? This PowerPoint might just be the answer. This Year 6 reading SATS preparation lesson focuses on impressions questions and supports the children to give answers that give two very different impressions of a person, place, object or setting.

Examples of modelled answers
Practice questions for Year 6 pupils to have a go with
