Schofield and Sims First Comprehension Book 1

The First Comprehension work book provides an early introduction to written comprehension, developing children’s enthusiasm for reading and their ability to interpret texts. A downwards extension of the award-winning Key Stage 2 Comprehension, First Comprehension is suitable for children who have not previously attempted formal written comprehension.

The carefully selected texts – 18 per book – reflect the range of genres recommended by the National Curriculum and will interest both boys and girls. On the page facing each text, questions are presented in two Parts – which may be answered in one sitting or separately: they include multiple choice, personal comment and sentence completion activities. Children are encouraged to read closely and accurately, and to evaluate and interpret every text.
