Description

Each of the 12 classic poems is accompanied by eight sets of questions based on the Key Stage 2 (KS2) Reading Content Domains and National Curriculum. The accompanying activities provide opportunities to tackle more complex vocabulary and explore how authors use language to impact their readers. Inference activities help hone inference skills and give an indication of the pupil’s depth of understanding of the poem.

The clear structure and the author’s passion for literature make Developing Reading Comprehension Skills Years 3-4: Classic Poetry invaluable for everyone working on poetry comprehension with 7–8 and 9–10 year old pupils.

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. The teacher resources in this series are suitable for new and recently qualified teachers as well as those who are more experienced and looking to expand the range of texts they use as classroom practice materials and for guided reading.
