This 2-book, high-interest series caters for students who have left the junior primary but are still struggling with reading. This resource aims to capture their interest with a range of vibrant, relevant reading work units.
Each book is comprised of eight guided reading units presented in a variety of structures. Each unit has a detailed step-by-step lesson plan along with a learning intention, a text for the students to read (or for teacher to share) and a variety of follow-up activities designed to improve literacy skills.
The units will enable the teacher to:
- Use daily learning intentions to target the specific learning needs of reluctant readers
- Observe reading behaviours and provide the appropriate support
- Model reading strategies by “thinking aloud”
- Engage students in discussion to build meaning and make inferences
