Review :
This resource is a game-changer for LKS2 teachers! The carefully structured questions - ranging from simple retrieval to three-mark evidence-based responses - mirror the SATs format, helping children develop the skills they need well before Year 6 Inference is one of the trickiest skills to teach, and this book tackles it brilliantly. The variety of questions encourages children to think deeply, use evidence, and articulate their understanding - exactly the skills they need to become confident readers A must-have for Lower Key Stage 2 teachers! This resource not only reduces workload but also ensures children are exposed to a wide range of high-quality texts: fiction, non-fiction, and poetry - all while systematically building their reading comprehension skills. An incredible resource for teachers looking to implement whole-class reading effectively. The engaging texts and structured questions help make whole-class teaching more accessible while developing essential reading skills for children. The extracts cover a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, with SATs-style questions that are perfect for essential pre-test preparation. I loved this - accessible, clearly set-out, and purposeful. A great asset for class teachers to have to work with a whole class, or for children to work on in small groups in order to brush up on finding evidence in reading. The Vocabulary Ninja has created another must-have resource to support children in tackling assessments, and to support teachers in their search for quality texts with supporting questions. Who needs AI when Vocab Ninja provides brilliant extracts with outstanding questions that will perfectly match the needs of your class? The Vocab Ninja never lets me down - every book, every resource he produces is world class and is certain to make the lives of countless teachers easier! I loved the original comprehension Ninja books and use/recommend them to colleagues regularly but these have raised the bar yet again and I can't wait to use these in my classroom. Amazing extracts with multiple opportunities for your class to practice the skills that they need to flourish with their reading. These are vital for any teacher wanting to support their learners.
