MY REVIEW
In this resource, you will find materials for 3 lessons. In the first one, students read 4 reviews and they must guess the book. Later, we talk about what a review is and its key characteristics. In the second one, students choose a book that they have already read, and they try to do the review with the teacher's help and some visual aids. Finally, in the last lesson, students show their reviews, and they read them to the class. If you download this resource, I would really appreciate your feed

Comprehension and inferential quick activities
Do your students struggle with reading comprehension or inferential skills?
After a round of reading assessments I discovered that several of my students really struggled when it came to reading comprehension or being able to infer meaning.
I also generally noted that children with SEN characteristics - Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Autism really struggled with comprehension and inferential questioning.
So I designed these quick activities that I will use as a part of my guided reading

Speed Sound Phonic Chart
Helping reluctant writers is a very important part of our jobs and one of the biggest issues for young writers is spelling! I use these charts to support my reading intervention class when sounding out new words. They understand that each phonic makes the same noise as the others in the column, but different ones are used for different words! TOP TIP: The "-" symbol between two letters means that word features a magic 'e' which changes the sound! For example, 'share' includes the phonic 'a-e' me
