Reading Explorers: Year 5

Now supported with CPD training focusing on how to successfully implement a skills-based approach to the teaching and learning of key aspects of Literacy within the classroom, the best-selling Reading Explorers series provides teachers with a wide variety of genres, both fiction and non-fiction, which will allow children to access, interpret and understand what they are reading. It increases the child's knowledge and understanding of why certain words are chosen by an author. It gives the reader the chance to speculate on the tone and purpose of the texts, as well as consider both texts' themes and audience. Includes a Lesson Plan using the original text of well-known authors. The five thinking and reasoning skills contained in the book are: literal thinking; deductive reasoning; inferential skills; evaluative assessment of texts; and study skills which promote wider independent study. Each book includes 36 lesson plans.
