This Year 2 Rise and Read Set 1 pack is a great, no-prep, class-settling activity for those moments when you have a little time, and you want to be productive. Made up of 5 sessions, these packs consist of short, easily-digestible texts, a range of questions covering skills such as inference, retrieval and summarising, as well as real-world images to spark discussion, and famous quotations to help develop understanding and general knowledge. Use the pack across a week, or one session per week across 5 weeks in tandem with our Early Morning Work and Early Morning Maths packs, and help your children develop their comprehension and fluency.

There is no need for printing with this resource! Use it on your screen and let children write their answers in their books, on their whiteboards, or simply discuss.
