This 70-page photocopiable resource caters for students who have left the junior primary years but are still struggling with reading. For these students the interest level of texts is vital. This resource aims to capture that interest with a range of vibrant, relevant reading work units. The resource is comprised of eight guided reading units presented in a variety of structures. Each unit has a detailed step-by-step lesson plan along with a learning intention, a text for the students to read (or for the teacher to share with them), and a variety of follow up activities designed to improve literacy skills. Text types include: recount; newspaper article; recipe; non-fiction; poem; comic; and, diary.
