KS1 Fiction Reading Comprehension lessons

A little dog, three squirrels and a missing name tag—an adventure to get young readers thinking and talking!

Join AlfieToo and Great Uncle Alfie in two illustrated reading comprehension lessons, ideal for Year 2. This story of friendship and helping others gives children opportunities to explore all five KS1 reading domains.

Both lessons follow the I do, We do, You do structure, moving from teacher modelling and partner discussion to independent practice.

The pack includes:

• Two editable teaching PowerPoints featuring illustrations from the story.
• Lesson 1: vocabulary, retrieval and sequencing—domains 1a, 1b and 1c.
• Lesson 2: sequencing, inference and prediction—domains 1c, 1d and 1e, with different sequencing activities.
• Story extracts to support close reading and evidence-based answers.
• Differentiated question sheets with Teacher answer
• Speaking and Listening activity with Teacher/TA question prompts
• Teacher notes with model answers, teaching prompts and support suggestions.

Opportunities for partner talk, independent responses and exit-ticket assessment.

An engaging way to build reading confidence while getting to know AlfieToo and his new friends!
