Learning Resources Reading Comprehension Cubes - KS2

HE1536875

Product code: HE1536875

Roll the cubes before, during and after reading a story to encourage comprehension skills. Each side asks a question, such as ';what do the pictures on the cover tell you about the story?' and ';What is the main idea of the story?'

  • Encourage children to discuss their reading with these dice which add an element of surprise about what the topic for discussion might be.
  • Model good discussion during Guided Reading sessions, and then let the children use them independently to discuss their own reading.
  • These cubes would work well for groups of children reading the same book, or during a library session where the children are swapping books and want to tell someone about the book they have just read.
  • Comprehension skills develop through pupils' experience of high-quality discussion with the teacher, as well as from reading and discussing a range of stories, poems and non-fiction.
  • All pupils must be encouraged to read widely across both fiction and non-fiction to develop their knowledge of themselves and the world in which they live, to establish an appreciation and love of reading, and to gain knowledge across the curriculum.
  • Reading widely and often increases pupils' vocabulary because they encounter words they would rarely hear or use in everyday speech.
