Students will learn how to extract the relevant information required to answer set questions about a story or text. With different texts each week, over time, they will learn how to deduce what is meant when the story uses inference, be able to identify the key characters, find phrases or words that tell them about something particular in the story, give synonyms for certain words, be able to describe a character, identify alliteration, think critically by learning how to reason why a character does what he/she/it does, give ideas of what may have happened previously or after the story takes place, find connectives, explain why the text is organised in the way it is, explain why some sentences are shorter than others, find powerful verbs, find amazing adjectives, deduce what words mean by using the text that surrounds those words, and describe what kind of story they are reading - is it a traditional tale, a fantasy story, some other kind of fiction, or non-fiction?

My short stories and texts have been used within schools for SAT revision throughout the UK for the past five years. As such, I have an innate understanding and ability to teach the skills required for your child to pass their SATs.
