100% comprehension using fiction and non-fiction texts.

The Comprehension Box for 5th-6th Class contains:

• 150 colourfully illustrated cards with texts covering a variety of genres and text types.
• 15 colour-coded sections.
• Pupil Tracking Sheet Pad.
• Questions on the back of each card. 
• Answer cards.
• Scope and sequence chart.
• A comprehensive Teachers Guide providing suggestions on how to explicitly teach comprehension strategies along with answers and pupil and teacher recording sheets.

Flexible use within the classroom

• Pupils could be grouped according to reading level, work on the cards in a particular colour and then discuss and summarise what they have learned with their peers.
• Capable, independent readers can work through the cards at their own pace, freeing up the teacher’s time to work intensively with different groups in the class.
• Ideal for differentiation.
• Teachers can easily assign the colour-coded cards to each pupil’s reading level.
• Ten cards in each colour-coded section ensure that pupils practise comprehension strategies using a variety of texts and comprehension activities.
• Each colour-coded section gradually increases in reading difficulty, leading to constant progression.
• Pupils working on the same coloured section can alternate cards and engage in various station activities over ten lessons.
