Years 1-6

This resource contains a massive range of comprehension activities, assessments & practical resources that support the teaching and learning of reading, and save busy teachers hours and hours of preparation time.

 Unlike other resources, this package covers in detail EVERY YEAR GROUP within the primary phase. There is detailed guidance on how to meet the needs of children at ALL LEVELS, not just the core supporting differentiation and guided group work, along with ready made practical activities that can easily be adapted/modified for any age group.

There is also a wide range of resources that can be shared with parents or teaching assistants. No other resource available offers so much for such a reasonable price. Buy once and use forever!
