Recently my department have really focused on improving reading fluency and comprehension (also a whole school focus). It was great to receive some positive feedback on this in a recent Ofsted deep-dive. Here are some strategies we have been using - THREAD:

@RobGeog Looks brilliant! Would also be interested to see an example lesson (haven’t used booklets much personally)

4. As you go through the answers (using choral responses) you can stop to question students further for that deeper understanding. ‘Why was that false?’ ‘What word would need changing to make the statement correct?’ Etc

The humble ‘True or False?’ starter task. Here’s 4 reasons why I love it. THREAD:

3. Choral responses. This task is perfect for using whole class choral responses. I count down from 3 then ask all students to give their answer aloud. There are only two possible answers, which lowers the stakes and keeps it simple - but you’d expect a very high success rate.
