Year 5 Reading Intervention Bundle

Expected Standard & Greater Depth Packs

This bundle combines both Year 5 reading intervention packs, providing targeted support to help pupils achieve the expected standard and those ready to be stretched towards greater depth.

Designed for small-group intervention or focused classroom support, these structured sequences develop accuracy, confidence and depth of understanding across a range of high-quality texts.

What’s included:

✔ Year 5 Expected Standard (EXS) Intervention Pack
✔ Year 5 Greater Depth (GD) Intervention Pack
✔ Six carefully selected texts in total
✔ Three structured lessons per text (18 lessons overall)
✔ Clear sequencing within each pack
✔ Structured teacher input (PowerPoint) to support guided questioning and live modelling
✔ Independent practice activities (pdf)
✔ Full answer books with marking guidance
✔ Texts drawn from the Boost Comprehension scheme

The Expected Standard pack focuses on securing core reading skills including retrieval, vocabulary understanding, inference and sequencing.

The Greater Depth pack stretches pupils further through more demanding texts and questions requiring precision, justification and deeper interpretation.

Together, the packs provide a coherent intervention pathway for Year 5 reading, from securing expected outcomes to developing greater depth.
