Set of 5 Reading Comprehension texts and questions.

This is a set of five texts which can be used during shared/guided reading sessions. Each text includes literal retrieval as well as ‘find and copy’ style questions and interpretation questions.

The children should be given between 20 and 30 minutes to complete the questions therefore meaning their is time left to review the answers as a group/class.

Within a whole class, the higher ability children can be given an initial task to complete, such as dictionary work, while the remainder of the class begin their text. After ten minutes the higher ability children then begin their text. This means all children should complete their work at the same time.

All texts are aimed at Upper Key Stage 2, however could be accessible by confident Year 4 children or some Key Stage 3 children.
