This is a collection of 31 fiction and non-fiction comprehensions. Each text represents a different genre and comes with a range of comprehension questions.

Also included is a 124 page flipchart (ActivInspire - interactive; PowerPoint and PDF format) comprised of each text and the accompanying questions - great for feeding back as a class and discussing the best answers for each question.
