Save with this full Strategy Squad bundle! Includes ten reading lessons with texts, test-style questions, mark schemes and teaching slides built around the Fox, Owl and Tortoise strategies. Perfect for Year 6 test prep.

Three unique strategies. One complete reading toolkit.

This Key Stage 2 reading comprehension bundle includes all three Primarily Practical Strategy Squad packs - each with a distinct approach to tackling the demands of the reading test.

By introducing your class to the Fox, Owl, and Tortoise strategies, you’ll equip every pupil with a method that suits their style and gives them the tools to approach the test with confidence.

Using these strategies, my class went from thirty percent meeting the expected standard in March, to seventy percent in May!

What’s Included:

• Ten test-style reading lessons (4 for Fox and, 3 each for Owl and Tortoise)
• Ten engaging, original texts (fiction, non-fiction, poetry and hybrid)
• Ten sets of slides for teaching each strategy and modeling question approaches
• Ten pupil tests replicating reading test format
• Ten detailed mark schemes with domain breakdowns and clear answers
