1 Preface This new series has been developed to respond to teachers demands for a series that follows the style of Badger Comprehension, but with simpler questions, and an interactive whiteboard component. The texts have been selected by the following criteria: Range of text types by year and term following the National Literacy Strategy Each text is entirely authentic, with no adaptations made from the original source Each extract makes complete sense as a page Full sources supplied, so that readers can progress to the full text The activities have been devised to cover the following range of responses: Teachers modelling a parallel text on the whiteboard, before introducing the pupils text Interactive involvement of the pupils in e.g. highlighting parts of the text Text level questions relating to fiction and non-fiction text types and their features Sentence and word level questions covering grammatical awareness and vocabulary extension The teacher s books and CD Roms offer all the support you need for modelling the interactive texts, with links to NLS objectives, and QCA assessment focuses.
