Catching on to Comprehension is an exciting comprehension series that provides full coverage of the English comprehension skills needed in the primary years.
Catching on to Comprehension
is skills-based, meaning that a key skill in comprehension such as
sequencing, identifying important details or recognising the author's
voice is explicitly taught in each unit.
Each unit has
a learning sequence that fits in with how teachers teach and classrooms
work: the first page of each four-page or six-page unit is a whole
class, teacher-directed lesson and the following pages are for children
to complete on their own (or in groups). A follow-up activity is also
provided.
Each book is jam-packed with interesting, fun and relevant fiction and non-fiction texts that children will enjoy reading.
The
activities include multiple-choice questions that make the units in
this series an ideal preparation for comprehension testing.
Vocabulary
activities, story structure activities and units that focus on visual
literacy and using resources such as dictionaries are all included.
