Comprehension from Context - Bk. 3

"Comprehension From Context" is a three books series covering KS1-KS2+.

The series uses two methods to evaluate the reader's overall understanding of each of the stories, which are wide and varied including fiction and non fiction.

Firstly, students complete the cloze exercises by using a list of given words to complete the text.

Reading strategies such as context clues, syntactic and semantic skills and word recognition are developed as students select the correct word to write into each gap so the story 'makes sense'.

Once the story is complete, students read the story in full and answer comprehension questions at three levels of difficulty - literal, inferential and evaluative.
