Chillington Tuition presents ten engaging non-fiction articles carefully constructed for teenage readers. Each one has been constructed to use at least ten tier 2 words, and acknowledges a particular reading ability and age.
Each PowerPoint invites students to engage with tier 2 vocabulary, non-fiction language techniques, and respond to no-nonsense comprehension questions.
