Comprehension Toolkit: Prompts and Activities for Enhancing Reading Skills

Teaching Comprehension Toolkit for 8-12 year-olds.
This toolkit is designed to empower teachers with a wide range of prompts and activities that can be applied to any comprehension task, fostering the development of essential reading comprehension skills in students.

Prompt sheets cover the domains of reading comprehension: retrieval, vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, and summarisation. These prompts serve as valuable tools to guide students’ thinking, encouraging them to delve deeper into the text and extract meaning from what they read. With this prompt sheet, teachers have a handy reference that can be used across various texts and reading materials.

Worksheets include a reading organiser, word log and reflection sheet to accompany any reading comprehension task.

Think, Pair, Share cards encourage discussion partner work to help your class explore the reading task.
