Complete Comprehension Book 4 (Year 4)

Product description for teachers and tutors

Comprising six books of teacher’s notes and photocopiable resources, Schofield & Sims Complete Comprehension is a whole-school programme designed to support children from their first steps in comprehension through to secure ownership and confident application of comprehension skills.

Written by a team of expert authors, the series breaks down the complex process of reading comprehension into separate skills that closely match the curriculum requirements for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Each teaching unit targets one comprehension skill, which is introduced through a modelling session and then practised using test-style questions. Children engage with these skills through captivating texts that have been carefully selected by experienced teachers for each age group and are complemented by a wealth of enrichment activities, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience that encourages reading for pleasure and produces strong and successful readers. 

Each book contains: 

• a Skills guide, providing in-depth explanations for each comprehension skill
• engaging text passages from a range of genres, including high-quality contemporary fiction
• a Lesson plan for each unit, including a Language toolkit to support vocabulary teaching
• extensive discussion and enrichment activities to build background knowledge
• photocopiable Target-skill questions and Mix it up! questions
• three informal Progress check assessments.

Complete Comprehension Year 4 introduces children to a broad selection of more challenging and varied texts, allowing them to develop their comprehension skills while boosting their vocabulary and background knowledge across a range of subjects. Pupils will enjoy extracts from authors such as Rachel Rooney, Grace Nichols and Marcia Williams as they explore a variety of fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts. Texts in Complete Comprehension Year 4 are frequently accompanied by illustrations to support children’s understanding and engagement. A selection of free supporting downloads is also available from the Schofield & Sims website, including printable texts and modelling slides for each unit.
