50 slide powerpoint for the first 6 chapters of Wild Boy - a great novel for whole class reading in Year 5 or 6. Slides contain all the features of effective whole class reading lessons: recap, vocabulary, comprehension questions. I have also included a question / task for the whole class at the end of each lesson that is designed to look like the SATs style. I just have this on the interactive whiteboard and follow through it in my WCR lesson as it is all prepared and has everything I need.

I am intending to add the rest of the slides for the full novel and will share them on here if anybody is interested
