Classic Children's Literature Years 5-6 exposes children in Upper Key Stage 2 to a variety of texts from classic children's literature. They are given opportunities to tackle more complex vocabulary, develop endurance for longer passages and practise each of the eight Reading Content Domain question types that appear in the KS2 Reading SATs papers: vocabulary, retrieval, summary, inference, prediction, text meaning, author's use of language, and compare and contrast. The world of classic children's literature is full of rich language and exciting adventures. Through these timeless stories, children are able to journey to worlds and times different from their own and lose themselves in the lives of unforgettable characters. Once children get a taste of these wonderful stories, they often want to read more and go on to experience books they may not otherwise discover. In these stories, they meet fascinating characters with whom they want to become life-long friends. Children soon realize that people are basically the same throughout history and that these characters want to be happy, find friends and be loved, just as they do. The richness of language and the art of story telling provided by these types of texts allow children to expand their understanding of the world. They are then better able to make links between literature, history, geography, science and other areas.
