These are reading comprehensions which I gave my year 6 class with the answers. The questions are about chapters 1 and 2. Firstly, to encourage them to read the actual book which we have in our class library. Also to practise retrieval, inference, explanation and justifying their opinions with evidence from the text questions, all geared towards the SATs. The answers are at the end of the document.

This is a non-fiction reading comprehension that I gave my year 6 class for homework based on the famous, record-breaking singer Beyoncé. It inludes the text, questions and answers. The comprehension has 9 questions that are suitable for your LA, MA and HA children. The questions involve a mixture of skills such as retrieval, inference, explanation and vocabulary skills. I have included the answers at the end of the Word document.

Lesson 1 is simplifying fractions which is important when converting 60% to 60/100 to 3/5. Lesson 2 is converting fractions into percentages -obviously they need to memorise these eventually. Lesson 3 focuses on converting decimals to percentages by multiplying and dividing by 100. It also includes converting these into fractions too. Lesson 4 is a revision lesson on all these skills because my class needed one more lesson on FDP equivalents. In all these lessons, there are opportunities for teacher modelling, differentiated practice questions, a printable differentiated worksheet for independent work and the answers to save valuable teacher time. I usually display the challenge question with the Learning Objective while they’re doing their independent work so they can have a challenge when they’ve finished. Some of the lessons have further challenge questions to stick into the books.
