As a teacher, it can be difficult to source high quality texts to use in your reading lessons. Luckily, the titles in this brilliant series have been carefully compiled to include a wide and varied range of extracts to engage readers and encourage deeper comprehension. Today, I’m showcasing the Year 2 Fiction and Poetry collection.  

‘Help pupils to develop reading comprehension skills in Key Stage 1 and ensure a successful transition to Year 3, using these poems and extracts from children’s stories.

The book provides a gentle introduction to more formal comprehension while introducing children to 20 engaging fiction texts and poems which will encourage a love of reading. For each poem and extract, thought-provoking questions help pupils gain an understanding of all the Key Stage 1 question types: retrieval, inference, vocabulary, sequencing and prediction.

The Developing Reading Comprehension Skills series makes it easy to have a consistent whole school approach from Year 2 all the way through to the Key Stage 2 SATs. It is suitable for new and recently qualified teachers as well as those who are more experienced and wanting to expand the range of texts they use. If you are looking for a comprehensive resource to enhance reading provision and teaching in the classroom or to support home education, this series is exactly what you need.’

Definitely worth investing in if you’re looking to enhance your reading provision.
