This Year 4 reading collection contains 11 weeks of planning. Use the resources to complete three lessons over the course of each week.
The resource list sets out each week’s theme, and there’s a separate PowerPoint for each day’s lesson. The text is linked to or included as a PDF. There are some instances where you’ll need to source the text yourself.
