Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension is the ability to read a text and understand its meaning. So, in our Big Picture lessons on Fridays, we have a go at answering comprehension questions and take care to select from a wide range of texts.
As the year progresses, we are encouraging year 4s to become more independent in selecting a wide range of texts to read. We feel strongly that the wider our children read, the more their background knowledge of different areas improve. This is very important for good comprehension.
Have a look at some tips below on how to help your child choose the right book.
Here are some books for year 4s
