Here are all the questions and activities that I created and used with my Year 6 class over a whole term. Each set of questions and activities are differentiated at least two ways. Each resource is also linked to one of the KS2 reading domain skills. Hope you find them all helpful.

I successfully completed and passed my NPQSL. I felt it would be helpful for people to see what the completed assignment looks like. Please use this to support your own project but do not copy my assignment. Email if you would like a copy of the appendices after purchasing.

I used the text Once by Morris Gleitzman with my Year 6 class this year. I had some children who were working at a Year 3/4 level and couldn’t access the text. This is a simplified version of the text broken down page by page. There are some pages not included as I read those pages to the whole class. I also have some simplified questions that I created that I can email to you if they would be helpful.

These are questions based on Traction Man Meets Turbodog that I used with my Y2 class in the lead up to SATs. The questions are all in the style of Y2 SATs and there are enough sets of questions for about 4 weeks of learning.

I have used the new Development Matters and Birthto5Matters documents to create a term by term progression document. I will use this to help me assess my class at the end of each long term. I have also created ‘Common Play Behaviours’ for each area that I will have next year in my continuous provision. These statements match up closely to the progression document.

These are some questions and tasks to complete with Year 5 or 6 pupils on the first few chapters of Once. Most of the tasks are differentiated with challenge 1 being the easiest. I have also uploaded a simplified version of the complete book that I gave to some of my pupils who were working at Y3/4 level so they could then still access the text. Hopefully you find them helpful, please leave a review if you do.

Here are some SATs style questions that I used with Year 2 on the text Old Bear by Jane Hissey. Each set of questions are broken down to focus on a reading skill.
