If you and your students have enjoyed using the beach themed differentiated reading activity then you may also like to see these for your KS1 class: Access 54 original fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts by published children’s authors – all age appropriate, thematically linked, and fully annotated for ease of teaching. Build deeper understanding for children of all abilities through a variety of close-reading and guided reading techniques, plus fully resourced teaching sequences for every text. Each stage relates to year-group expectations. Stage 1 = Year 1, Stage 2 = Year 2 etc. We have called them stages in case you have children working at a level that differs from their own year group. This way a Y4 child working below expectations does not have to complete work with a Y2 label, for example.

Just like other Twinkl collections, our KS1 60 Second Reads only contains resources that are teacher-made. Fellow teachers obviously understand the specific pain points you're experiencing when trying to meet national standards - and how to alleviate those. In other words, these resources were specifically made with your needs in mind. Some educators think you should not use books unless they have been written specifically for phonics teaching. But I believe you can use any great picture book, so long as you rewrite the story in decodable chunks.
Using role play as part of your teacher’s toolkit can be significantly enhanced when you get involved yourself (oh, there’s that familiar stomach lurch!). Fig 1 shows how the character feels (inside her outline) when she finds herself stranded on a strange planet. Around the outside of her outline are words that illustrate how others perceive Beegu (both her character and her appearance). The stages are based on a measure of readability called an ATOS score. It is a formula designed to guide students and teachers to appropriate-level texts. It is based on a number of predictors - average sentence length, average word length and word difficulty level.It takes very little time as you are only looking for a couple of sentences to be read independently. Some books can provide greater challenge for more able pupils. Role-play a scene from before the beginning of a story, or what happens after the story finishes. Gossip Drama can feel daunting, and it would be easy to leave it in the hands of the talented, uninhibited few. However, many children have an often undiscovered natural talent for drama, and most pupils enjoy and engage with role play activities. You might also like these The Zoo Vet Year 1 Comprehension Worksheets. How can students improve reading comprehension? The Year 2 reading SATs test children's knowledge of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Students will answer questions to show their understanding of the texts.
As you can see, drama and role play can support teachers to deepen children’s understanding of text in varied and engaging ways. This means you can avoid the temptation to only teach reading comprehension through the model of teacher questioning.In some texts, particularly in Stages 5 and 6, some of the scores are slightly lower due to some of the content being written for effect. For example, short sentences to add dramatic effect or tension lower the score - but are important technical aspects to be experienced by readers. Each of thereading comprehension KS1 primary resources in this collection helps children improve their reading skills with the help of a secret weapon.
