There has to be meaning, otherwise, well, there isn’t

Being able to read is obviously important, but it isn’t much use unless the meaning of the text is clear.

And this is the reason for “comprehension” using diverse material that is enjoyable for children to tackle and which leads to the attainment of a higher level of performance in reading.

Thus we use missing word questions, interrogation of the facts, inference and deduction type questions and lots of texts throughout seven resources ranging from Year 1 to Year 7 (for gifted and talented Year 6 pupils).

Most question pages are split into three sections. Section A gives an overview of the text with missing words or phrases to find. Section B contains open-ended questions requiring inference and deduction. Section C is a relevant written challenge for more able pupils or those who work quickly.

The “Comprehension” resources are available either as photocopiable books or full colour ebooks via downloads.

What’s more they include landscape pages, which allow you to make maximum use of space on the interactive white board.

All books in the series include specimen answer sheets and written challenges at the end of each section.

If you’d like to see exactly how we have tackled this issue there are free sample pages for each resource available from our website.
