Coming to England Guided Reading Pack

About this resource

This teaching sequence focuses on retrieval. The story is a true story and is a story about belonging. This is a great text to be used to help to develop empathy.

This teaching sequence includes:

• A guided reading lesson plan in an editable word document format

•  A set of emotion picture cards for use in the guided reading lesson

• A story event retrieval resource for children to complete independently

• A photocopiable set of comprehension questions for independent or teacher/ TA supported work

• A wordsearch suitable for independent work

• An independent activity for children to plan what they would pack in their own suitcase

(Resources not included in this pack: sufficient copies of Coming to England by Floella Benjamin for your guided reading group)

We’ve pitched this planning at children in Year 2.
