US Grade 3 - 5
This is a ongoing class that will focus on reading a part of the text each week and then answering a range of questions: multiple choice, true or false, single sentence answers, vocabulary, and language analysis. The first book is Phyllis and The Fossil Finders. During class we will read from the Ebook, which will be displayed on the screen, and students will have their own weekly pdf copy of the extract/chapter to use during the class. The class will start by reading the weekly extract...
Students will improve all areas of reading comprehension: reading for meaning, explicit and implied meanings, language connotation, characterisation, story structure.

Homework Offered
Home work will be a worksheet with comprehension questions which will cover a wide range of questions based on the class reading section: plot, characterisation, setting, vocabulary, language analysis.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students receive feedback using ADAM - Acquiring - Developing - Applying - Mastering. These help students understand where their current level is and how to progress to the next level. Students also receive targets to help identify what they need to do to progress.Grades Offered
Students should already be independent readers - this is not a learn to read class. Students need to have a reading age of 8 to 11 in order to access the book and work on their comprehension skills.
Students will be supplied with all the resources - ideally these would be printed before the lesson. However, all resources will be on screen and as long as students have access via a computer after class homework can be completed on a google or word doc and sent for feedback.
Please note these are the main themes that run through the book and may need to be taken into consideration for your learner. Jacob the main character displays signs of neurodiversity but is in a strong friendship group - his storyline highlights the underlying message of diversity and inclusivity. Gabi displays symptoms of an invisible condition – consistent with chronic fatigue syndrome - this storyline shows the power of friendship. Nakeisha is unable to swim and is afraid of water - a fear many young children share. Faizal is often preoccupied with his ‘looks’ and initially treats Sam very unfairly – his storyline helps children understand not to judge people by the way they look. Sam is an outsider - his storyline in the book teaches children how to be kind, and how bullying can affect children. Mr Penniket is the ‘bad guy’ in the story – his storyline again teaches about trust and not judging people before you know them properly.
