Brilliant Activities for Reading Non-Fiction

Description

Brilliant Activities for Reading Non-Fiction contains comprehension activities to help Key Stage 2 pupils learn about different types of non-fiction texts and develop strategies for reading them. All the activities are compatible with the Primary Literacy Strategy. Activities range from analysing leaflets and advertisements to locating information and looking at how it is structured. The book is divided into four sections, one for each year of key Stage 2. Lesson plans are accompanied by photocopiable texts and worksheets. Most of the activities allow for differentiation by outcome and so may be used with the whole class. Differentiated worksheets are included where necessary so that children of lower ability have more guidance or less to do in quantity. Extension activities are given to challenge the more able, and follow-on activities enable teachers to extend the work further.
