Week 26, lesson 1-5 Mini Reading Assessment activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 3 - Worksheet
English Resource Description
The Mini Reading Assessment is an engaging activity designed for students who are progressing through Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3. It presents a vibrant picture of the fairground experience, inviting children to immerse themselves in the vivid descriptions of fair attractions. The text begins by asking if the reader has ever visited a fair, setting the scene for a sensory exploration of this lively environment. It describes the exciting rides, the loud music that fills the air, and the interactive games such as whack-a-mole, where children can support their friends. Additionally, it captures the emotional highs of the fair, from the laughter elicited by clowns to the thrill of navigating a haunted house.
Further drawing the reader into the fairground atmosphere, the assessment describes the chance to win prizes, like a new blue teddy bear, through various competitions. It also tantalizes with the prospect of indulging in a generous serving of candy, suggesting a carefree moment of enjoyment as one 'stuffs their face' with the sweet treats. The passage concludes by posing a question that encourages personal reflection, asking the reader if they would like to experience the joys of a fair themselves. This Mini Reading Assessment not only checks the student's reading comprehension and phonics skills but also aims to evoke their imagination and emotions through its descriptive narrative.
