In the teacher’s notes, I have suggested questions to create interest before handing out the reading comprehension. As a whole class activity, you can read the whole story and then ask questions about what you have read and asking some children/students to summarise, before small and/or independent group work. The reading comprehension requires students to: • Look for evidence in the passages • Make inference • Give their opinion • Select correct answers from multiple choice questions • Correct spelling errors in a paragraph (sight words, phonetically misspelt words and homophones). The extra activities are: Reading two paragraphs and correcting the spelling errors; and Complete a short writing task – Write a sentence or two on what hope, kindness and love mean to them.
