This comprehension crusher reading scheme pack includes two twisted narrative texts. The first text is based on ‘The Enormous Turnip’ but with a carrot instead. It has been written to meet the Year 2 expected standard and comes with three sets of comprehension questions, based on three curriculum content domains (retrieval, sequencing 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 a twisted narrative based on ‘The Gingerbread Man’. This text has been written to meet the Year 2 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.
