Reading Tasks: Upper Primary

This is a set of 10 reading lessons aimed at upper primary. All the tasks are designed for success criteria to be co-constructed. I have found these to be a great vehicle for pupils choosing their preferred reading style.

A general lesson sees the class reading for 20 minutes in their chosen setting (independent, pair, small group, techer group) and with their own novel. We then all come together as a class to co-construct success criteria before moving to desks and jotters to complete the activities.

I’ve found peer assessment and self assessment to work well with these tasks. I pause 10 minutes before the end of the lesson, the class assess and then they have 5/6 minutes to act upon the feedback.
