KS2 Courses

Outstanding One-to-One Reading, Group Reading and Guided Reading Sessions in Reception, KS1 and KS2 (Zoom)

This course will support you to plan and teach outstanding One-to-One Reading, Group Reading and Guided Reading sessions in Reception, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two.

The course will provide:

  • a comprehensive overview of all relevant documents for the teaching of early readers and struggling readers (lowest 20%)
  • support on how to improve decoding skills as well as developing reading for meaning and comprehension for early readers in EYFS, KS1 and KS2
  • advice on how to engage and motivate the very early readers in any class to learn how books work and to  “have a go” at using newly acquired phonic knowledge.
  • guidance on how to work with children 1-1, ensuring that this is not just ‘listening to’ but has an impact on the reading of the lowest 20% of children in all classes.  This is particularly important for any school waiting for Ofsted as the Inspector will ask to observe someone reading with lowest 20% readers (and they will be particularly focusing on decoding using phonic knowledge).
  • a structured approach to planning, teaching and assessing early readers in EYFS and Year One
  • a structured approach to planning, teaching and assessing struggling readers (lowest 20%) in Year Two and Key Stage Two
  • advice on matching phonic knowledge to decodable reading schemes

Suitable audience: Teachers and Teaching Assistants in Reception, KS1, KS2. This course is particularly suited to ECTs, teachers and TAs new to Reception or KS1 and/or teachers and TAs currently working with children who do not have sufficient reading skills to take part in a whole class Guided Reading group.

                                  • use this model text to develop understanding of the text type – purpose, audience, form, structure, language features and vocabulary
                                  • use this model text to develop reading skills – decoding skills comprehension (oral and written)
                                  • plan an effective teaching sequence with a clear outcome
                                  • develop planning skills by using ‘boxing up’ strategy

                                        Well led and informative.  A chance to think and do!  Lots to think about and try.  I ended up with a planned unit of work.

                                        This has given me a clearer focus for my lessons and made me re-evaluate current practice.  Always so much information and lots of prompts to question our current practice.

                                        Great step-by-step guide on a narrative unit with great grammar and reading advice included.
