THIS IS A FREE SAMPLE COPY of the following product:

10 week bundle of reading comprehensions linked to a variety of rock, pop and alternative songs specifically chosen for this pack.

Each song is broken down into 4 reading comprehensions, starting with retrieval and recording, then context clues, inference and finally an assessment where children are encouraged to work out what type of question they are being asked.

I was wondering if you had a written copy of the lyrics for my SEN chn? Also could this be sent in word form for editing? I would need to load onto less paper.

I love this resource. My y6 class are really enjoying developing their comprehension skills through analysis of song lyrics so this is a perfect resource for this. I am transferring the comprehension questions onto PowerPoint slides and adding images to aid discussion.
