Description

Each of the 12 extracts from classic children’s literature is accompanied by eight sets of questions based on the Key Stage 2 (KS2) Reading Content Domains and National Curriculum. This reading workbook for Years 3 and 4 provides opportunities for children to study more complex vocabulary and so build their own. They can also explore how the authors language effects their readers whilst developing endurance for longer passages. Inference activities show the depth of children’s understanding of the extracts.

The clear structure and the author’s passion for literature make Developing Reading Comprehension Skills Years 3-4: Classic Children’s Literature invaluable for everyone working on literacy development with 7–8 and 9–10 year olds.

Support for teachers, and parents who are homeschooling, is built in with guidance for how to teach the different question types, plus suggestions for embedding these texts in the wider KS2 English curriculum. These resources are suitable for new and recently qualified teachers as well as those who are more experienced and wanting to expand the range of texts they use as classroom practice materials and for guided reading.

If you are a teacher, tutor or parent looking for a comprehensive teacher resource to enhance reflective reading and support teaching in your classroom or home education, this is exactly what you need.

    Excellent book! The texts have been carefully selected by the author, who is clearly very knowledgeable about children’s literature. The questions which accompany the texts are pitched at the right level to develop and challenge pupils’ skills, reflecting the expectations of the curriculum for reading. A truly valuable resource for every classroom.
