Whole Class Guided Reading sessions involve the class sharing a book together over several sessions a week and across the half term. Children of all abilities get to share the same novel but independent activities can be differentiated accordingly. The book is read mostly by the teacher, whilst the children follow, with opportunities for children to also read aloud. In theory, a move from the carousel to the whole class approach could see each child benefiting from increased teaching time as five out of five sessions are with an adult. This approach also benefits the teacher by greatly reducing the time spent planning. Each pack includes 16 copies of 2 different texts and a. 16 copies each of Letter to Pluto and Esio Trot. Teacher's Guide with a synopsis, notes, lesson plans, comprehension activities and more!.
