Brilliant Activities for Reading Fiction contains comprehension activities to help Key Stage 2 pupils learn the key features of stories and poems and develop strategies for reading them critically. All the activities are compatible with the Primary Literacy Strategy. Activities range from looking at descriptions of characters from classic texts and analysing the features of good story openings to looking at alliteration in poems and investigating humorous prose. 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 sheets 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.

The activities in the New All-In-One Learn to Read and Write Grade 2 Home Language Workbook will ensure language and writing success!

The reading lessons are graded and sounds are presented step by step, keeping the eye span, sight word vocabulary and sentence structure that a Grade 2 learner should know in mind. The reading lessons are followed by applicable language exercises. The learner also cuts out an "Own reader" to practise sounds and spelling.

The new sounds learnt are practised on handwriting strips, developing learners’ pencil grip and handwriting skills. Sounds are practised through handwriting - the learner is encouraged to draw patterns (which resemble the sounds) and write sentences.

The handwriting exercises are in the correct font and line spacing - in print writing (e.g. round/slanted letters) - so that the learner learns to write correctly.

Handwriting and language exercises are presented in the order that learners will learn them in class according to CAPS.

How to Sparkle at Reading Comprehension contains over 40 photocopiable activity worksheets for Key Stage 1 (KS1). The sheets are ideal for independent work. Each activity covers at least one comprehension objective of the National Literacy Strategy. A wide variety of texts include stories, poems, recipes and character descriptions that are fun and relevant for your pupils. The comprehension activities on each sheet can be completed individually, in small groups or as a class.
