Year 3 Fluent in Five - Autumn 1 v2

Brand new for 2024/25 is this fantastic fluency resource for Year 3. This could be used either whole-class or as a targeted intervention to help develop fluency and practice a range of comprehension questions.

The resource features a variety of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and each extract is accompanied by a set of comprehension questions which focus on retrieval, vocabulary and inference.

Designed to be used 3 times weekly, over a period of 6 weeks. Each session should last around 10 minutes as follows:

• 1 minute – teacher model read.
• 5 minutes – children read the text either to an adult or in pairs and then summarise their reading.
• 4 minutes – answer comprehension questions (if wanted).

If run as an intervention, this would be slightly different, and we would suggest the teacher and child reading the text, discussing any questions they have and areas for improvement, summarising and then exploring questions together.

There is a 2023/24 version of this resource featuring different texts should you wish to mix and match. Just search Fluent in Five Autumn 1 and the year group of your choosing.
