Pinpoint Whole Class Reading is a new series of teaching guides providing flexible and creative lessons for classic modern children’s books.

This book provides 30 starter, main and plenary activities for teaching The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce in Year 5 / P6. These can be used interchangeably over a half term or over a longer period. Activities use three levels where appropriate, showing how the content can be adapted for children who need more support or challenge.

The Unforgotten Coat sensitively addresses the contemporary issue of immigration through a friendship between two refugees from Mongolia and one of their classmates in Liverpool, offering links with current affairs, geography and art.
