KS2 Comprehensions (Non-Fiction Pack)

This is a collection of 13 non-fiction comprehensions. Each full text represents a different non-fiction genre and comes with a range of comprehension questions.

Also included is a 52 page flipchart (ActivInspire - interactive; PowerPoint and PDF format) comprised of each non-fiction text and the accompanying questions - great for feeding back as a class and discussing the best answers for each question.
