A super helpful resource pack that is suitable for a range of ages and abilities.
Just the right level for EAL students who are gaining English acquisition.
Provokes discussion.
Thank you
This pack has been an invaluable resource! A good selection of differentiated activities with quality texts and pictures. I would highly recommend - thank you Teaching Packs.
Love the short animated video clips. All children are really engaged.
Would really like more of these!
Thank you.
For content and variety I would give this 4 stars - there is so much available and it is easily organised - however I do think the resources could be made more challenging and more in line with the SATs style comprehensions hence only 3 stars. Alternatively it could be beneficial to have 3 levels of difficulty rather than just 2 with the third level being of Year 6 ARE standard. Over the years SATs comprehensions have changed and are definitely more high level vocabulary being used. They are also quite text heavy and some of the comprehensions do not have this level of depth to them.
The kids love these activities so much! They're great for fast finishers and for those days when you aren't having a good teaching day!
Fantastic series with differentiated comprehension questions based on the same text. The stories are short, varied, and interesting enough to use as extension work for early finishers, or as stand-alone comprehension work. The kids loved getting 'stars' for their correct answers, rather than a number as well.
Absolutely love this pack. The video and poetry comprehension activities super helpful and a lovely way to teach a little differently. Many thanks.
I love the whole comprehension pack, as it offers such a range of activities. My absolute favourites are the ‘Identify, describe and infer’ challenges as they encourage the children to think and have generated some really interesting discussions. We have been learning about Greek Myths and I have created some of my own based on these ideas. Thank you very much, life savers for busy teachers!
This pack has been absolutely brilliant to use but with addition of the video challenges its even better. The children have loved having a different way of doing the comprehension and even my younger children have enjoyed watching them too!
