This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s comprehension of the opening chapter of Karen McCombie’s ‘The Lost Diary of Sami Star.’
It contains a link to the online chapter (on the first slide) and a PDF version if needed. This is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities.
The session is best suited for children in years 2-4, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
