Reading comprehension is so much more than just reading words, and this book explains how to develop all aspects of it for pupils aged 7–11.

All teachers of children aged 7–11, English subject leaders, literacy coordinators, student teachers, teacher-educators, librarians, tutors, reading specialists …
