Guided reading 

The children will compare 'Lights on Cotton Rock' to another text using the blurb, front cover and predictions. 

Grammar
Capital Letters:  Look at the Learning clips to support the session.This should help sustain prior knowledge of capital letters:

Children can answer questions to support consolidating the use of capital letters at the start of sentences, for the personal pronoun ‘I’, for names of people, places, days of the week and months of the year in extended sentences. Includes sentences where use of capital letters is less obvious, for example: My favourite football club is Manchester United Football Club.
They may also explain a more ambiguous mistake about the use of capital letters for words which can be either common or proper nouns depending upon the context, in an extended sentence.
To follow further application they may rewrite a sentence with capital letters in the correct places for proper nouns, at the start of the sentence and for the personal pronoun ‘I’.
To address their knowledge and understanding they may finally explain if capital letters have been used correctly in a sentence, using capital letters for proper nouns, at the start of the sentence, for the personal pronoun ‘I’ and for abbreviations, for example: TV, PS4.
