Monkey Puzzle Guided Reading Teaching Sequence

This teaching sequence focuses on reading for retrieval. The pack includes sufficient activities to engage your children in meaningful learning for one week of guided reading lessons.

This teaching sequence includes:

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

· A ‘LOST’ poster template for the independent follow-up lesson

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

· A wordsearch suitable for independent work

(Resources not included in this pack: sufficient copies of Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson)

We’ve pitched this planning at children in Year 1 and Year 2.
