Tribes: Catherine MacPhail. Planning and resources for guided reading. This word document contains 28 lessons and is all you will need to teach a term of reading to Year 5 and 6. I have used this unit primarily for reading lessons but it does contain a number of writing opportunities. Most challenges follow the RIC structure (Retrieval, Interpretation, Choice) and they are labelled as Hot, Hotter or BYSO (Blow your socks off) to allow the children to choose/be assigned an appropriate level of difficulty. Why buy this unit? I am Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Lead and have 10 years’ experience of teaching Year 6 across Leeds and Bradford. Also, everything is blue and red as these are my school’s colours but this can all be edited to suit your own setting.
