This KS2 Rise and Read resource includes four reading activities focused on the civil rights leader Martin Luther King. 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 or PSHE 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 this important man.

The pack includes an information text, a poem, an image and a narrative. These lead to questions which focus on a variety of reading skills: retrieval, vocabulary, explanation, inference and summary. There is also an assessment style question which focuses on inferring information from the text.

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