The Comprehension Boxes can help you in your classroom today, assisting you to teach twelve comprehension strategies including inference, finding information, fact and opinion through fiction and non-fiction texts. Working through these cards will lead to increased confidence when sitting a test as pupils will have had consistent practice using and applying the different comprehension strategies.
Pupils:
The children really like the ease of them, their layout and style.
Carla Gotch, Assistant Head
Love the range of genres included -great for picking out the different features. These have been great for quick, sharp intervention. The later cards provide a really good challenge for the older children.
Sarah Cadogan, Deputy Head Teacher
Simple activities great for independent learning. We use the activities during Early Morning where the children are working towards their individual targets. As they cover all aspects of comprehension the children can select questions pertinent to their target.
Helen Jones, Classroom Teacher
We have purchased all the boxes along with the literacy boxes to use as part of our guided reading sessions. The children love the variety of texts, the multiple choice questions and the additional extra. They have had an impact on data.
