Brilliant Activities for Reading Non-Fiction: Comprehension Activities for 7-11 Year Olds

Brilliant Activities for Reading Non-Fiction contains comprehension activities to help primary school pupils learn about different types of non-fiction texts and develop strategies for reading them. Most of the photocopiable sheets allow for differentiation by outcome and so may be used in mixed-ability classes. Differentiated worksheets are included where necessary so that children of lower ability have more guidance or less to do in quantity. Extension activities are given to challenge the more able, and follow-up activities enable teachers to extend the work further. Activities range from analysing leaflets and advertisements to locating information and looking at how it is structured.
