Reading Comprehension Reference for Primary Students

Blake's Comprehension Guide by Del Merrick explains how readers build meaning from text and sets out the strategies primary students need to read well.

The guide is split into two sections. The first looks at social and cultural context and compares printed, visual and non-verbal texts. The second works through strategies for fiction and non-fiction, including previewing, making connections, predicting, visualising, monitoring, reflecting, retelling and summarising. Each section gives plain definitions and sample texts, then closes with a short TRY THIS quiz.

Children get a clear, repeatable method for tackling unfamiliar texts rather than guessing at meaning. Teachers can use the Australian Curriculum correlations to slot topics into lessons, and the glossary, index and quiz answers make the book easy to use for independent revision at home.

Use it beside the other titles in our educational books range, or pair it with activity books for students and teacher resources for a complete English support kit for the classroom or home study desk.
