This Fixture introduces the Premier League Reading Stars programme. It will create discussion about the purpose of reading and the different types of text available to read. It also gives pupils the chance to practise their retrieval skills.

In this film, two journalists explain, with examples, the differences between skimming and scanning.

This Fixture provides pupils with a simple tool, the five finger rule, to help them select the most appropriate book - a 'just right' book for them to read.

There is also the Five-a-side Reading Challenge that pupils can do at home with their families.

This film shows pupils how to use the five finger rule when deciding if the book they are reading is at the right level for them.

This Fixture shows pupils how they can use the tools of questioning, clarifying and predicting to help them really comprehend a text, and to discuss it with their peers effectively.

This Fixture enables pupils to be able to read and understand information from the news. They will read a range of newspaper articles and headlines relating to football, using skimming and scanning skills taught in Fixture 1. They will begin to understand and question the content, based on the ‘four Ws’ (what, who, when and where).

This Fixture will introduce pupils to reading magazines and the impact that they have on the reader and the subject. They will also learn the difference between facts and opinions and be able to identify them in text.

In this film, Alex Scott, former Arsenal Women Football Club player explains some of the differences between fact and opinion.

In this Fixture, pupils will learn about the range of information available online, including websites and blogs. They will begin to evaluate online texts effectively. Pupils will also learn to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly.

In this Fixture, pupils are encouraged to respond to a text, drawing inferences about characters’ personalities to create a 'role on the wall' and taking part in role play to show their understanding.

In this Fixture, pupils will begin to understand what a press conference is. Building on skills worked on in Fixture 7, they will use text and video to infer characters’ feelings, thoughts and motives, and demonstrate their understanding through hot-seat activities.

In this Fixture, pupils explore a range of poetry, including football songs and performance poetry. They perform a football poem in a group using intonation, tone, volume and actions to demonstrate meaning.

This Fixture allows pupils to reflect on their learning and share their success in Premier League Reading Stars with others. They will work together to choose an audience, format of presentation and the content which they would like to present and create the resources.

Sean Dyche and Alex Scott leave extra special messages for your pupils when they complete PLRS.
