This KS2 Rise and Read Alice Ball resource includes four reading activities focused on the famous scientist, Alice Ball. It is suitable for use in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, and could be displayed on the whiteboard as early morning work, used in reading lessons or even as a stimulus in assemblies. However you choose to use it, children will not only sharpen their reading skills but also learn more about the world around them.

The pack includes two information texts, an image and a diary entry. These lead to questions which focus on a variety of reading skills: retrieval, purpose, vocabulary, inference and prediction. There is also an assessment-style question with a focus on inference skills.

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