The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - Comprehension Lesson

This ready-made comprehension lesson is based around the first part of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was originally written for Year 4 but, with some tweaking, would also be suitable for more able Year 3 pupils or as revision in Year 5. This lesson focuses on children answering questions thoroughly, using ‘P.E.E’ to construct answers. The LO I used for this lesson is: To answer questions about a text, supporting my answer with relevant examples.

The lesson input (on the ActivInspire flipchart and also provided as a pdf) enables children to practise this by identifying which answers they think are the best and then having a go themselves. There are then 2 sets of differentiated comprehension questions for children to have a go at independently. The second page of questions are more challenging.

This resource pack includes everything needed for this reading lesson:

• The text extract required
• A supporting flipchart (also provided as a pdf)
• differentiated comprehension questions
