This is a super resource for Y5/6. More often than not many comprehension resources have limited text types but this book has a really wide range of classic texts for pupils to access. It is really helpful for teachers as there is clear guidance with regards to content domain and an overview of text types. The questions are varied and match the types of questions that pupils might come across in KS2 SATS. As a headteacher, we are always on the hunt for good resources and my teachers love it! (Miss S, Head Teacher) --Brilliant Publications website"This book of reading comprehension has clearly been written by an experienced and passionate upper KS2 English teacher. Each section is so well planned: taking children through challenging questions that develop learning in key areas such as inference, authorial use of language and vocabulary. This should scaffold teachers to bring brilliant teaching of reading into every classroom - great for NQTs, RQTs and experienced teachers alike. The introductory sections are useful too to explain how the book could be used and the thinking behind the different question types.""I would recommend this book to parents who want to give a bit more stretch, those preparing for e.g. 11+ exams and (having spent 4 years home educating ourselves) home educators who want to start to explore reading comprehension in a more formal way. I am also very tempted to buy a few books from the series as something different for an end-of-year gift for teachers."
