How can we improve, progress and develop pupils’ reading comprehension skills to the next level?
When learning a new skill, using just one method of practice rarely results in us accomplishing the skill to a high standard. Our skill can improve, but only so far.
To develop and progress the skill further we must, quite simply, change the method of practice.
It therefore follows that for pupils to progress their reading comprehension skills to a higher standard they need to be exposed to an extensive range of challenging and diverse reading comprehension activities.
And this is what we have developed with our series of reading comprehension resources for Years 1 to Year 7 (the Year 7 resource can also be for gifted and talented Year 6 pupils) that offer an impressive range of diverse practice materials.
These are enjoyable for the children to tackle and lead to them attaining a higher level of performance in reading.
The activities in the series range from missing word questions and interrogation of the facts to inference and deduction style questions.
Most question pages are split into three sections. Section A gives an overview of the text with missing words or phrases for pupils 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 as photocopiable books or as full colour ebooks via downloads or on a CD. They also include landscape pages which allow you to make maximum use of space on the interactive white board.
All books in the series include answer sheets 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.
