A PowerPoint presentation designed for Key Stage 2 SATs preparation in English Reading focuses on the skill of information retrieval. The aim of the lesson is to enable students to identify key details and ideas within texts and effectively retrieve information. This involves tackling 'Short Answer' SATs style questions, including 'Right there' questions, where answers are found directly in the text. Students are taught to look for literal answers that often match the wording of the questions. Additionally, the lesson covers 'True or false' questions, guiding students through the process of reading extracts carefully, underlining important information, and determining the veracity of given statements.

During the lesson, students work on extracts from classic literature, such as Edward Lear's 'The Owl and the Pussycat' and Beatrix Potter's 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit', to practice these skills. They learn strategies for answering different types of questions, including 'Order the events' and 'Fill the gap' questions. The presentation provides steps to success, such as reading texts and questions carefully, underlining key words, and using process of elimination to find the correct answers. The session concludes with a review of the skills learned and an assessment of how well the students have grasped the concept of retrieving information from texts.
