  1. WAYS OF APPROACHING FICTION AT KS3 Enjoyment and Enrichment

  2. Learning Objectives • analyse reading development at KS3 in relation to the KS3 Framework • identify the characteristics of a good class novel • further develop a range of practical approaches to the class novel • consider the range and development of reading knowledge, reading skills and understanding in the POS for English at KS3 • outline a Medium Term Plan for reading development using a class novel at KS3

  3. EXPLORING THE CONTEXT • Fewer pupils are reading for pleasure in KS2 and KS3 than previously. • OFSTED findings that pupils read fewer whole texts than previously. • Strategy-led teaching has become reductive and “bite-sized”. • New focus on reading for Pleasure (English 21/ECM)

  4. Linking the Key Stages • A brief view of what the Strategy says in each Key Stage. • Exemplification of how the Reading Objectives “progress” from KS2 to KS3.

  5. Group Activity • Discuss and list an agreed set of criteria to describe suitable and effective fiction texts to use for boys and girls at KS3. • Suggest some specific texts that meet these criteria. Refer to NC and Strategy objectives. • Feedback to whole group. (10 minutes)

  6. What Good Readers Do • Consider the list on the sheet in your handout. . . . . . • How can we, as teachers, foster and develop these skills in the classroom?

  7. Some Basic Approaches • Shared Reading • Group Reading • Reading “round the class” • DARTS activities • Traditional Comprehension • Independent Reading • Paired Reading • Library lessons/Reading Schemes (See handout and additonal materials on WebCT)

  8. Creating Tasks and Planning Lessons • Lessons must combine great texts with great tasks and clear objectives. • Be aware of the wide range of tasks available. (Refer to the document: “Approaches to the Class Novel”) • Make effective use of the ASSESSMENT FOCUSES. • Task: How could the AFs be used to inform planning?

  9. Further reading • www.vitallink.org.uk (a source of information on reading for pleasure) • www.readingconnects.org.uk • www.literacytrust.org.uk • Improving Reading – an interactive study resource (Dfes. Ref:1557-2005CDO-EN)
