Whole class reading and reading for purpose

Whole class reading is an approach growing in popularity as many schools shift away from carousal guided reading and look to develop comprehension skills through a whole class reading route. Scholastic has developed a range of plans to assist teachers who wish to pursue this path.

The plan contains key objectives and outcomes that link to the National Curriculum and Reading Content Domains, a purpose panel, teaching guidance and suggested questions and answers.
