This resource supports pupils to develop their reading comprehension skills through independency, metacognition and provision of language frames to support EAL learners. It enables a group of learners to lead a discussion and justify opinions about a text through agreement, courteous disagreement and a final concensus that is based on evidence. As part of a reciprocal process of: prediction, clarifying, summarising and questioning, the discussion cards support the questioning element of the process. Furthermore enabling pupils to develop all aspects of speaking and listening and wider understanding of language.
