EEF Reading comprehension research found that improving reading comprehension strategies are high impact on average (+6 months). The course covers the theory needed to ensure all your pupils become excellent readers, able to comprehend challenging texts.
Displays, bookmarks, classroom activities - a range of printable resources. A powerful framework. I know a number of schools use VIPERS - this framework goes beyond this to include elements linked to METACOGNITION. It is important that as pupils progress through KS2 they can become more independent readers and are able to assess their own success / next steps for development. The extra elements help boost performance of reading comprehension in the short and long term. It incorporates the best elements from research.
There is something for everyone - in every key stage!
Materials to support booktalk. Help all learners become confident in text discussions with sentence stems, activity ideas, supporting resources, scaffolding.
A range of planning sheets to help you implement each section of the course.
