Praise for The Comprehension Box:

A superb product that I would highly recommend, in particular it’s perfect for pupils as the cards vary in difficulty depending on the topic!!

The Comprehension Boxes can help you in your classroom today, assisting you to teach twelve comprehension strategies including inference, finding information, fact and opinion through fiction and non-fiction texts.

Working through these cards will lead to increased confidence when sitting a test as pupils will have had consistent practice using and applying the different comprehension strategies.
