Description
This action-packed story by Richard O’Neill, is told through the eyes of young Lijah, as he navigates life and discovers football and the legendary Rab Howell. This whole Class reading unit for Year 5 includes the planning for Year 5 based on the first two chapters of the book. Vocabulary, Retrieval, Clarification and Inference are covered in this unit. Written by a Romani author, this story sheds light on a little-known community, meaning readers will have a lot of empathy for Lijah, and respect for Romani customs.
In this pack you will find 2 x whole class lessons: (an hour long focus – or you can split it into separate days); an editable PowerPoint presentation; vocabulary focus; full planning using the KS2 Reading Domains; and the task sheets (scaffolded) all ready to print. The original book is needed to complete the unit.
