The set comes with an instruction manual and a document of the key vocabulary and writing skills that the activities aim to teach. These passages have been trialled with 4th, 5th and 6th classes and the feedback has been 100% positive: “Because they are short, the children focused on them a lot more than any other comprehensions I have used in the past. They were challenged by the vocabulary included and the stories prompted great discussion in the class.” “The children enjoyed being able to relate to the text. We found it to be a useful task that allowed the chn to think about language, grammar, etc. so definitely something we would be keen to keep using.”
