About the First Comprehension Teacher's Guide (Ages 5-7)
Here are our top reasons to buy the First Comprehension Teacher's Guide (Ages 5-7):
- Teaching notes and sample answers for every text in the First Comprehension pupil books
- Written for Year 1 and Year 2 (ages 5-7) and matched to the National Curriculum
- Cross-curricular content chart, plus Theme and Genre charts for comparing texts
- Photocopiable follow-up activities, including speaking and listening work and poetry to learn by heart
- Group record sheet for keeping track of progress
Your Year 1 or Year 2 child is learning to answer questions about what they read, and this guide gives you the words to help them do it.

Reading comprehension is new at this stage, and children need an adult beside them. This teacher's guide gives you notes and sample answers for each text in the First Comprehension books, so you can talk a question through before your child writes. A Year 3 child who still guesses at questions can go over the same texts with you.

The teaching notes introduce each text and show what a good answer looks like, as one of the sample pages here does for two texts. The printed guide also holds photocopiable follow-up activities, with speaking and listening work and poems to learn by heart.

A cross-curricular content chart links the texts to other subjects, and the Theme and Genre charts let you set two texts side by side. The group record sheet keeps a note of the work your child has finished, so you can see which skills to come back to.
