Year 6 Reading Comprehension - Summer Term
Transitions

About the theme

In their final term of KS2, the theme of ‘transition’ is one that could hardly be more relevant for pupils - and the texts in this unit have been carefully commissioned to give them an opportunity to share any doubts or worries they may have, as well as understanding others’ situations. 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.
