This lesson aligns with the national curriculum by incorporating foundational literacy skills, encouraging critical thinking, and promoting comprehension and analytical skills in young readers.
Students will be asked to read a short story or an informational text at home.

The worksheets will be collected at the beginning of the next class for assessment without formal presentations.
