Each book in this series features 15 comprehension passages. Each
passage is accompanied by three differentiated comprehension worksheets
- one sheet aimed at lower ability pupils, one aimed at the middle
range and one for higher ability. It is envisaged that teachers may
well end up using two of the three worksheets with each child as
progress is made.
The books cover a variety of genres and styles e.g. fiction,
non-fiction, poetry, newspaper reports, etc. Some passages are taken
from existing literature by well-known authors and some are original
pieces written by the authors. The carefully worded questions include
those with obvious answers to provide practice in writing clear,
well-punctuated sentences, and those with less obvious answers so that
higher ability pupils will need to 'read between the lines'. Once
completed the worksheets will also provide evidence for teachers when
monitoring pupils' progress and assessing their level.
The series addresses strands 7 and 8 of the new Primary Framework for
literacy, which refer to understanding, interpreting, engaging with and
responding to texts, and also strands 11 and 12, which are concerned
with sentence structure, punctuation and presentation.
