This KS1 Rise and Read Jack o' the Green resource includes four reading activities about Jack o' the Green, who appears in some English May Day parades. It is suitable for use in Years 1 and 2 and can be displayed on the whiteboard as early morning work, used in guided reading sessions or shared during assemblies. However you choose to use it, children will develop their reading skills while learning more about this traditional character.

The pack includes an information text, a narrative, an image and an advertisement. These are followed by questions that focus on a range of reading skills: retrieval, purpose, vocabulary, inference and prediction. There is also an assessment-style question which focuses on choosing information to match the text.

This resource does not require any printing, as it has been specially designed to be displayed on the whiteboard.
