This is a great bundle of comprehension activities for children who are not able to write legibly, but are able to read. In order to assess reading and comprehension skills we need to check their understanding. These activities are brilliant for doing just that.

Other sheets encourage looking at pictures or reading information to find clues and children can make a mark on the answers they believe to be correct.

This is a great selection of resources to support learners in KS1 with comprehension. Focusing on the topic of Traditional Tales, this collection has a story of Ben and the Sunflower, this is a different take on the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Children can watch the story on a powerpoint presentation, because this is so visual it helps them to relate to the story and discussions can be had whilst reading the story to a group of children. There are different levels of comprehensions available to download in this pack, which allow children to answer questions all about the story they have just observed. Each comprehension is designed to suit the different levels and needs of children so there are 3 to choose from and a story sequencing activity. Other traditional story powerpoints and comprehensions (with a difference) are available to download separately from TES and from our website applefortheteacher.co.uk.
