Reading lessons to develop functional reading and life skills.
Rockerbox Reading Ladders is age neutral, comes with easy-to-follow lesson plans, and provides the flexibility you need for your unique setting.
How Rockerbox Reading Ladders Works
1. Download a Lesson Plan
Teachers have instant access to easy-to-follow lesson plans that have plenty of flexibility built in. Pick a topic that links to current affairs, a special interest, or a theme you are covering. New lesson plans are added weekly so the articles covered are timely and relevant for your pupils.
2. Access the Dedicated Article
Each lesson plan relates to a non-fiction article on Rockerbox News and has related quiz questions. Every article is available at 6+ different levels online and offline via the Rockerbox News platform. Personalise British accent ‘read alouds’ – including higher levels for those with advanced listening comprehension – and accessibility features for each pupil.
3. Select Ready-Made Resources
Our education team creates a number of ‘ready-to-print’ resources to accompany your lessons. These include Colourful Semantics worksheets, vocabulary lists, and extended reading lists for pupils that want to explore further. Simply download the appropriate resources for your pupils.
4. Download the Functional Text
Related functional texts (accessible 6+ ways) and physical activities put new vocabulary and knowledge into action, showing your pupils how empowering reading can be. Expect recipes, product reviews, instruction leaflets, and more.
5. Quickly Identify Areas of Need
Your Rockerbox News teacher portal automatically tracks and reports on your pupils’ comprehension strengths and areas of need. You can use your Teacher Portal to quickly assign personalised texts and activities too.
6. Read Across Your Curriculum
We believe reading is not something that should be limited to English lessons. Your pupils and teachers have full access to the thousands of articles on Rockerbox News online as part of your subscription so that you can read right across your curriculum.
