Hello fellow educator! I am sharing this guided reading resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your guided reading lesson. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community. Please note that I left this resource in Word so that you can edit it to how you see fit. I hope nothing gets mixed up since I didn’t put it in PDF. A little about me and this resource: I’m the English Coordinator at a little school and I took on the task last year of developing a guided reading programme for KS2 as I noticed this was missing from the school. I have included the record sheets I use (not entirely mine as I found this somewhere and made some changes) as well as the individual pupil questions that they glue into their Reading Response journals after reading a chapter with the teacher. About this resource: I created this for an average ability guided reading group for Year 3. Included -2 reading response options for each chapter: reading comprehension and usually parts of speech connection or writing connection (diary, letter, newspaper) -Guided Reading Record Sheet with old AFs and vocabulary for each chapter identified -IT’S IN WORD SO YOU CAN AMEND WHAT YOU WANT! Other resources available: Guided Reading: Sheep-Pig, Billy the Bird, Diary of a Killer Cat, Bill’s New Frock, Butterfly Lion, The Iron Man, James and the Giant Peach Upper KS2 Guided Reading: Reading Assessment Focus tasks linked to Bloom’s Taxonomy, Indian in the Cupboard, Wreck of the Zanzibar, Carrie’s War, Artemis Fowl, How to Train Your Dragon Kind Regards, Kelli

Hello! I created this for a pupil I was tutoring for the 11 Plus exam. But it can easily be used with a class/exam prep group. There are 10 words per page, written in sentences to support students deciphering words in context (10 pages in all). Definitions for the words are mixed up to the right to choose from. I have found this an extremely helpful way to expose my student to more vocabulary, connect it in context and continually revisit the words. I also write the words on coloured lolly sticks to play Boom (explained in resource). OPTIONS: Give out sheets with sentences and definition choices. Pupils write the number of definition next to vocabulary word after reading sentences (drawing lines across gets messy). More challenging: Give the sheets without the definition choices. Pupils write a simple definition next to word above sentence. Give quiz at the end of the week and/or randomly over the next few weeks/months. ANSWERS INCLUDED for you or students to use for marking I hope it helps! I will be creating more that include crosswords, so look out for that in the future. Best, Kelli
