Year 1 Reading Comprehension - Autumn Term
It’s Good to Be Good

4 Resource Packs

About the theme

The programme starts by looking at simple texts that explore the idea of good choices - what they might look like, and the consequences of making them. The theme links to relationships education - the conventions of courtesy and good manners. Resources to support children in making connections between the texts can be found in the ‘pulling it all together’ pack, as can a suggested list of books also linked to the theme, which could be read as a class.

Pulling it all together

Once you have gone through all three texts with pupils, establishing familiarity and understanding with each, you can use these additional resources to help children engage with them thematically, making links between the texts, and to others they may have read or heard of. A suggested list of books for class reading, linked to the unit theme, is also included.
