Synopsis

A collection of interesting articles to help your child practise early reading comprehension skills, such as retrieving facts, drawing inferences and exploring language. It is recommended for children of 7-9 years (years 3 and 4), but may be used by younger children, who are fluent in reading. Each passage contains a series of questions, which requires the child to retrieve facts and explain information from texts... or to offer ideas as to what the writer is implying. Every passage contains (vocabulary) word exercises, encouraging the child to search for words or phrases with the same meaning. This book will help prepare you child for the next stage, our New Comprehension Practice Papers for SATs.

About this title

About the Author

Sally Jones is a qualified teacher with over thirty years experience of teaching in the classroom and as a private tutor. She runs a successful private tuition business in Surrey, teaching children from 5-17 years. Sally began writing her own educational material to teach English, as a direct result of tutoring children on a one to one basis. She became aware that there was a gap in the retail market of teaching resources that would cater for the specific needs of her pupils. This need gave birth to her creative writing books, which provide reluctant writers with starting points to get them writing. More than this, she realised there was a need for English activities that stretched more able children, for those with special educational needs or where English is a foreign language. Amanda Jones graduated from a Surrey University in English Language And Linguistics and went on to complete an MA in English and Sociology. Her love of writing began in her teens when she submitted projects to win the title of Young Environmentalist of The Year on three occasions.
