It is one thing to be able to read, it is an entirely different thing to read with comprehension. This means that one has to understand what is going on in the text and really analyse and think critically about what they are reading. This is where reading comprehension is so important. In this 4-week FLEX class, we will practice this skill using VIPERS. This stands for Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explaining, Retrieval, Sequence/Summarise. This 4-week course will focus on all these skills while reading and analyzing various texts about different, interesting and engaging subjects. We will look at information, explanation, narrative, poem, diary, instruction, retrieval, letter and inference types of texts. Students will be able to have a choice of the reading comprehension they would like to complete. They will be encouraged to do at least three reading comprehension activities a week, however, they are more than welcome to do all five. Students can either print out the reading comprehension printable or download it onto their device (PDF file). It will never be more than 2 pages per printable. They will attempt to read what they can themselves and then watch a pre-recorded video of me reading the text and pointing out tricky vocabulary. I will read the questions to them and challenge them to answer the questions. I will then record another video going through the answers and explaining each answer. I will show them where to find the information in the text and will provide them with a model of how to answer the questions. There will be a second video for each lesson that will look at the answers together and show them where they could find the answer. Each lesson (from the very start until the end) should take no more than 40 minutes and as students gain confidence in their abilities it may take about 25-30 minutes. Students are welcome to go at their own pace and I would encourage them to send in at least 3 of their completed comprehension activities (whichever texts they prefer). To sum it up, each lesson students will receive 5 comprehension printable PDF sheets with every topic. There are four topics in the course. Each comprehension sheet will be accompanied by two video-recorded lessons. The first one will read through the text, discuss what the text is about and look at the questions. The second recording will be going through the comprehension questions and answers, showing students where the answer could be found in the text.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Carlin King. I am a Year 1 teacher living and working in the United Kingdom. I have been a primary school teacher for more than ten years and love being part of the formative years. I have been trained in a number of different phonetic programmes including RWInc (Read, Write Inc).
My greatest passion is teaching children to read and write. As a child, I loved to write stories. I found it came naturally to me as I was a total book worm. However, as a teacher, I have seen that many children struggle with creativity, vocabulary and sentence structure when it comes to their writing. When children have both a writing model and an interest in the subject matter - that is when creative writing takes shape. Engaging and exciting themes, fun and well-written books and fascinating historical events and characters are just some of the subjects I like to use in my writing lessons. These classes will be for primary school children roughly between the ages of 5-8. Basic phonetic knowledge needs to be there as we can then sound out and build sentences together.
I am a firm believer in teaching phonics when it comes to fluent and confident reading. I have been teaching children to read throughout my teaching career and have had many experiences in different phonetic programmes. I decided to create my own phonic reading scheme, using what I know works, and make it engaging and exciting for children.
I believe teaching is about having fun and allowing children to get emersed in a subject. As a teacher, I strive to be a guide - allowing children to let their interest and curiosity drive their learning. As a child, I loved school and was privileged to go to more than one school as I spent my childhood living in different parts of Africa. I was born in Nambia and then moved to Ghana when I was nine years old. As a teenager, I attended a wonderful boarding school in South Africa. I now live in England with my husband and two gorgeous babies.
