Publisher's Synopsis

Each of the fiction extracts from classic children's literature is accompanied by eight sets of questions based on the Key Stage 2 (KS2) Reading Content Domains and National Curriculum. This reading workbook for Years 5 and 6 provides opportunities to tackle more complex vocabulary and so build their own. Pupils can explore how authors use language to impact their readers and develop endurance for longer passages. Inference activities give an indication of the depth of understanding of the text.:

The clear structure and the author's passion for literature make Developing Reading Comprehension Skills Years 5-6: Classic Children's Literature invaluable for everyone working on literacy development and grammar with 9-10 and 11-12 year olds. The extracts have been carefully selected to grab attention and motivate pupils to read more and ultimately become independent readers.:

Support for teachers and parents who are homeschooling is built in with guidance for how to teach the different question types, plus suggestions for embedding these texts in the wider KS2 English curriculum. These teacher resources are suitable for new and recently qualified teachers as well as those who are more experienced and wanting to expand the range of texts they use as classroom practice materials and for guided reading.

If you are a teacher, tutor or parent looking for a comprehensive resource to enhance reflective reading provision and teaching in your classroom or to support home education, this is exactly what you need. Look for other books in the Developing Reading Comprehension Skills series, including Years 3-4: Classic Children's Literature, Years 3-4: Classic Poetry and Years 5-6: Classic Poetry.
