This guided reading resource includes a pair of texts about Africa with four comprehension skills sheets to complete, providing reading passages and questions that are challenging and engaging.

Using the ‘LIMS’ approach, students work through Literal, Inference, Meaning and Summary questions to ensure that in the course of a week, they have practised skills right across the curriculum.

Text is differentiated and an answer scheme is provided.

Suggested itinerary:

Day 1 (30 mins) – Read both texts as a class. Highlight key parts. Discuss together. What have we learned? What do we want know more about? It is worth asking the students to write down any questions they have about the texts and putting them on display.

Day 2 (30 mins) – Literal sheet

Day 3 (30 mins) – Inference sheet (or meaning sheet if you prefer)

Day 4 (30 mins) – Meaning sheet (or inference sheet if you prefer)

Day 5 (45 mins) – Summary sheet and looking back at questions from the start of the week.

This is part of a series of Paired text resources looking at the seven continents of the world. You can find the others in my store.

Differentiation:
All questions are the same, which should make marking easier! However, the texts differ, with asterisks in the bottom right corner indicating the reading level.
