Flat Stanley: The Original Classic Adventure Whole Class Reading Teaching Sequence

This teaching sequence focuses on the skills of fluency, vocabulary and retrieval whilst also drawing in other skills relevant to the reading aspect of the national curriculum. The teaching sequence covers approximately two and a half weeks of reading sessions with time to allocate additional tasks to children. Discussion points are suggested throughout and where possible answers have been provided to support the teaching. We have indicated key vocabulary that you may want to explore with children before reading, during reading or after the text has been read.

This teaching sequence pack includes:

· Detailed lesson outlines

· Weekly comprehension quick quizzes

· A set of SAT style comprehension questions

· A wordsearch of key words from the text

· Summarising the Story sheet

· Theme Tokens

· A book recommendation sheet

We’ve pitched this planning at children in Year 3.
