Street Child Whole Class Reading Sequence

This teaching sequence focuses on the range of reading skills outlined in the national curriculum for children in key stage 2 including inferring meaning from what is stated and implied, understanding the words chosen by an author and how they impact on the effectiveness of a text as well as plentiful opportunities to practise reading fluently and to engage in drama and role play. The teaching sequence covers each chapter of the book. 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.
