    This book is fantastic – it will save me many hours work, and it will improve my children’s skills in understanding texts. Ultimately it will improve my children’s SATs score.

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