Trail : home / Reading : Activities for Responding to Reading (Y1-Y6)
Activities for Responding to Reading (Y1-Y6) Teacher's NotesThe activities are not intended to be issued without prior discussion and preparation. The activities require a range of reading strategies to complete. Wherever possible, each activity has a reference to the Assessment Focus being developed. This will support teachers in covering a range of comprehension strategies and provide part of the ongoing evidence for assessing a child’s reading. Many can be used as part of a Guided Reading session and completed with teacher support. Some may be used more than once with different texts. You may decide not to use all of the sheets, and some children may have a different selection to others. You may choose sheets that support work done in the shared and guided session, or sheets appropriate to individual children’s personal reading. Some of the activities are designed to be completed over time – such as collecting aspects of language to use in the children’s own writing. These could be enlarged and displayed so that all the children could contribute. Some activities may need to be differentiated – they are on the Literacy web site and you may download them and alter them or use a sheet from a younger age group. If you do not want to use photocopied sheets, these ideas are easily transferred to paper or exercise books. Or why not download the activity and work on screen. Most of the activities provide opportunities for Speaking and Listening about books and reading.
