A poster to describe Complex Sentences. I refer to this throughout the lesson and then display it on my Working Wall after for children to refer back to. PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THIS TIME THIS RESOURCE IS NOT CURRENTLY EDITABLE.

I print and laminate each Magic Editing Pencil’s and give one to every child in my class at the start of the year and train them to refer back to them when they have finished writing anything. They are a simple way of helping remind children to look for missing punctuation or correct silly mistakes etc. whilst still giving them the autonomy to do this independently! I have used this with both Year 4’s and Year 6’s and found them to be vital in my classroom - I hope they are helpful for you too!

7 weeks worth of the PowerPoints used and planning for LKS2 Reciprocal Reading sessions. Save yourself some time! Slides cover predictions, clarifying, questioning and summarising. These sessions were mainly teacher-led but the boss role is easy enough to follow using the slides for a child to lead. The initials after the questions refer to our school reading characters (Deep Detective, Word Wizard, Rich Retriever) but can easily be erased or edited to your own. A chapter is covered per week (3x sessions per week) but it could easily be adapted to suit your needs!

The initials after the questions refer to our school reading characters (Deep Detective, Rich Retriever, Super Summariser, Word Wizard) but can be edited to your own or erased.
