1. Year 2 Parent Teacher Workshop Reading Comprehension

2. KS1 English Reading Comprehension
We do not move children up a reading level until the understanding is secure at their current level.
Comprehension is all about the child’s understanding of the text that they are reading.
These questions might involve :
Predicting, Retelling and Inferring.
All of these question types require the children to search in the print for details to provide as answers.
The most advanced questions are inference styles ones which involve reading between the lines and deducing from the text.
