The range of texts is great and there is enough variety to appeal to different readers. The use of texts that are relevant and relate to the world today is great as this makes the exercises accessible and relevant to pupils. The dyslexia-friendly font is also a great idea. This is a great resource for independent comprehension practice - the texts are accessible, varied and engaging and the questions test a range of comprehension skills. I would give the workbooks 4 stars out of 5, based on the fact it doesn't show how many marks each question is worth and this is something that we always teach as a comprehension strategy - look at the number of marks, so that you know how much to write/include in your answer.
