Year 3: Stories with Familiar Settings: Teachers' Resource for Guided Reading

Description

Accompanying the specially-commissioned White Wolves fiction range, which has been written in consultation with the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, each of these books contains five literacy lesson plans and five photocopiable activities for each of the three graded story books in the Year 3 and 4 strands. The activities are designed for guided reading sessions in schools, in which each class is divided into groups of children with a comparable level of reading experience. The teacher spends time helping each group to negotiate a book specially chosen to match their experience level, and also sets the children literacy activities which they can work through by themselves. Guided reading helps children develop strategies for reading which enable them to become independent readers.

After a highly successful career in teaching and school management, Ann Webley now combines writing - from NLS units to articles in the TES - with working with colleagues in a consultative capacity in the field of literacy teaching. She has worked for national bodies and advised at local and national level.
