Based on Roald Dahl's 'Matilda' and the description of The Trunchbull; and 'A Christmas Carol' and the description of Scrooge, this series of lessons is designed to prepare students for a reading comprehension exam. Originally delivered to a low ability Year 7 class, this could be adapted for younger students but the questions would need reviewing if intended for higher ability.
The lessons support students through tackling different comprehension questions, allowing class work and discussion before attempting questions independently. All of the questions have spaces for student-teacher feedback, intended for peer-marking as model answers are provided on the board. There are three lessons on The Trunchbull extract and two on Scrooge. The Scrooge questions have been designed as a mock exam but could easily be adapted for a real exam or an extended homework task.

Reading comprehension questions - PowerPoint of the questions
Reading extract - Word document of the two extracts, designed as a four-page booklet
