This comprehension crusher reading scheme pack includes two narratives, one about Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees and one about Florence Nightingale’s work as a nurse. The first narrative, that accompanies the teaching slides, is an imaginative text which retells Jane’s life and her passion for chimpanzees. It has been written to meet the Year 3 expected standard and comes with three sets of comprehension questions, based on three curriculum content domains (vocabulary, retrieval and inference). The teaching slides provided, along with the questions sets, allow for in depth practice of each individual question type.
The second model text is also a narrative which details Florence Nightingale’s life and her pioneering ideas in the field of nursing. This text has been written to meet the Year 3 expected standard and is accompanied by one set of comprehension questions, which includes the three styles of question, previously practised. This provides an ‘unseen’ text and additional questions to practise these same skills independently. The answers to all questions are included.
