Two activities based on using inference and deduction. Both have been differentiated slightly for higher and lower ability pupils. The first activity gives a situation. Children have to use clues to decide how the character is feeling and what must have happened to them. The mastery activity uses a paragraph of fiction in a familiar setting. There are test-style questions underneath, with more scaffolding/multiple choice for lower ability pupils.

These reading comprehensions use a number of reading skills including meaning of words in context and inference. They are differentiated for higher ability and lower ability. I do not own the image of the front cover used.

Advise on what to include in an action sequence including a written example that could be used as a model. I have used a sequence from Monsters vs Aliens as stimulus for writing. The powerpoint includes a youtube link and a short story board. Please note I do not own any of the images used in this resource.

This bundle of activities are fantastic for teaching children how to proof read and spot mistakes in writing. The two booklets contain three different activities using extracts from Roald Dahl stories. First pupils look at punctuation errors, then common spelling mistakes and finally improving grammar and vocabulary. Both booklets are the same but the LA has fewer mistakes to find. The extension activity brings all these skills together. The column with hints down the side could easily be removed for more able children. The lesson 2 activities also bring all these skills together, with a table to support pupils in ensuring they have found ALL the errors. Again, the LA document has fewer errors to find.

Comprehension questions for chapter 11 and chapter 12 up to page 47 for Fantastic Mr Fox. Questions cover a range of reading skills and are differentiated for higher and lower. Each activity has 2 versions - a sticker version and a normal A4 plain paper version

Booklet with non-fiction text on Pompeii and retrieval question. Each question states how many marks can be gained. The HA booklet has less multiple choice questions. The SEN booklet has multiple choice questions and the text is shorter with fewer tricky words.

Lots of activities for this reading skill from introduction right through the greater depth level! Some activities are differentiated for higher and lower ability.

A matching and labeling activity for how structure and presentation of texts contribute to their meaning Children need to match the device to the definition. There is also an example text that uses all these devices that the children could label/find examples of each device The activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability

Test style questions for pages 7 to 18 of The Iron Man. Differentiated for Higher, lower and SEN. SEN questions are multiple choice. I recommend printing these resources in booklet format.

A great activity for higher ability children or those who are confident using commas. The starter activity reminds children of all the different uses. The mian activity uses an extract from The Maze Runner. All the commas have been removed - children need to put them in the right place. There is a table showing children how any of each type is missing for support. Answers included.

Sentence scramble activity for phase two phonics. Children orally rehearse sentence and unscramble it, followed by a short dictation activity. Includes: Six levels of progression A ‘How to’ guide A progression chart detailing sounds and tricky words covered for each level A sounds/tricky words starter for each worksheet (powerpoint or pdf) A perfect bridge between writing words and writing full sentences!

Alphabetical display for tricky words. Editable. A4. Top tip: Keep in the same place throughout year and refer to it as often as possible when model writing.

This resource requires children to cut up information (and subheadings for more able) and group them into the correct paragraphs. It is differentiated 3 ways to support different abilities. The writing concerns facts about volcanoes. Pictures used are from Twinkl.

A two part activity that requires pupils to identify the abstract verb n each sentence. They will then be given a choice of abstract verbs to use in sentences. A good activity for more able pupils to complete during grammar lessons on verbs.

The powerpoint introduces pupils to this skill including why it is important. There is an example which models the first activity well. The first activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability pupils. The mastery activity has less scaffolding and again is differentiated two ways. Finally there is an application booklet which has test style questions based on this reading skill.

A reading comprehension booklet with test style questions including multiple choice, meaning of words, author’s use of language and structure. Differentiated for 2 levels of challenge

A great activity to help children think about different types of characters and how they would react in different situations. This can provide a stimulus for writing narratives or playscripts. The starter is a group activity where children match dialogue and action to a well-known character. The powerpoint looks at this in a little more depth. The main activity gives children 4 different characters. Children need to imagine they just crash landed in a jungle and come up with dialogue and an action for each one. Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.
