Complete Comprehension Book 6 (Year 6)

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 6 presents children with a broad selection of more challenging and varied texts, securing their comprehension skills in preparation for the Key Stage 2 SATs and beyond. Pupils will enjoy extracts from authors such as Benjamin Zephaniah, Abi Elphinstone and Katherine Rundell, as well as having the opportunity to explore a carefully chosen extract from a play by William Shakespeare. Texts in Complete Comprehension Year 6 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.
