Reading Comprehension - Phyllis and the Fossil Finders: Age 8 To 11

This is a ongoing class that will focus on reading a part of the text each week and then answering a range of questions: multiple choice, true or false, single sentence answers, vocabulary, and language analysis. The first book is Phyllis and The Fossil Finders.
During class we will read from the Ebook, which will be displayed on the screen, and students will have their own weekly pdf copy of the extract/chapter to use during the class. 
The class will start by reading the weekly extract (students who are confident to read  to the class will be given a chance over the course of the lessons) and then a discussion of what we have read, then students will answer a series of questions. Class will finish with a prediction of what might happen next. Students will have a homework sheet that they can complete and send for feedback.
Week 1: starting March 4th -  reading chapter 1 - predictions, comprehension questions and introduction to the characters - predictions for chapter 2. 
Week 2: starting March 11th - reading chapter 2 - comprehension questions, character profiles, setting - predictions for chapter 3.
Week 3: starting March 18th - reading chapter 3 - comprehension questions, discussion of the problem - predictions for chapter 4. 
Week 4: starting March 25th - reading chapter 4 - comprehension, character profiles, writing about a character - predictions for chapter 5. 

Please note the pace of the lessons may alter slightly to take into consideration the learning pace of the class and sections of the book the class may want to explore in more detail. 

Please note - students who join class after the first lesson will be given previous chapters to read in order to understand the story - but this class does build on the previous weeks content.
