5 High-quality, engaging guided reading lessons for completely independent home / remote / distance / blended learning using interactive PowerPoint hyperdoc presentations, which guide pupils through the lesson using embedded audio and video. Suitable for children in Years 5, 6  or even 7, if they have gaps in learning. Lessons cover all of the skills in the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum reading content domains (areas tested in the Year 6 SATs) and will support children preparing for tests, as well as providing opportunities to analyse high-quality writing and try some writing themselves. The lessons are based on a freely available text extract from a real book and the link to that is provided in the instructions.
