5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely selection of contemporary comprehension

I would highly recommend this book. The selection of passages will capture the children's interest and the layout of the comprehension exercises follow the VIPERS format. This will ensure that all areas of comprehension are covered and if you are specifically concentrating on a focus area, this will be easily accessible. A great resource for 9-10 year olds.

Cannot recommend these highly enough. Have also been using these with older students in an SPLD setting who need exposure to quality texts and vocabulary. It’s a hit and really helping to develop skills in a specific way. Everyone should have them AND they are very reasonable 👍

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-structured resource

As a busy Y6 teacher, this book has been great for children to focus on the NC domains, in a fun and interesting way, using well-resourced texts.
