The Highway Code
KS2 English Resource – The Highway Code: Skimming and Scanning Skills
This engaging non-fiction reading resource is designed to help KS2 pupils strengthen essential literacy skills such as skimming, scanning, and text interpretation. Centred around familiar British road signs from The Highway Code, this 30-slide PowerPoint and accompanying worksheets provide an accessible and meaningful way to practise reading for specific information.
Ideal for whole-class instruction, guided reading, or intervention groups, this resource particularly supports reluctant readers—especially boys—by using real-world content to spark interest and engagement. Learners are challenged to analyse the purpose and meaning of road signs and complete a short writing activity to consolidate understanding.
Perfect for use in non-fiction English units or general reading skills development.
