This pack contains 30 close reading comprehensions and questions that are suitable for Reception to Year 2 depending on the ability of your students.
There are a range of comprehensions that gradually get harder and require the students to read and answer more questions as they progress through each comprehension. The initial comprehensions are simpler and have 3 questions and build up to more complex passages with 9 questions by the final comprehensions.
These are great to use for whole class activities, guided reading, or both independent and supported work or homework.
