THIS ‘GREAT KAPOK TREE’ BUNDLE CONTAINS ALL OF THE LESSON RESOURCES TO TEACH THE MINI-UNIT, IN ADDITION TO BOTH THE KS1 and KS2 COMPREHENSION BOOKLETS!

The engaging and thought-provoking series of lessons are designed to accompany class reading of Lynne Cherry’s 'The Kapok Tree.’
Three double-length lessons are included - one each to cover the beginning, middle and ending of the text.

The comprehensive and colourful PowerPoint presentations enables students to understand the text through:
-Lesson 1: Making predictions, understanding context, retrieving;
-Lesson 2: Retrieving, exploring the writer’s language, explaining;
-Lesson 3: Retrieving, summarising key events, and understanding the writer’s intentions.

Everything needed to teach the lessons is included within the resource packs, including worksheets and templates for the ‘deeper thinking activities.’

The comprehension booklets are 20 pages each, and contain a wide range of activities designed to build children’s skills and understanding in relation to specific reading objectives. Children build their skills in areas such as retrieval, inference, explanation, understanding vocabulary, summarising, and understanding the writer’s intentions.

The resources have been tried and tested in classrooms, and have enabled children to develop a comprehensive understanding of the text and its key meanings.
