Comprehension skills are vital when trying to pass exams at schools. This lesson is a straightforward fun lesson where students will learn about the tsunami. I will share my screen, via Zoom , the lesson, so children can read along and discuss the material. 

Children will also be learning to improve comprehension skills in non-fiction. 

Parent's note: Children's ability to understand new vocabulary in a given text is closely linked to good comprehension skills in reading. Teachers work really hard to include this in the curriculum but it is time consuming. This short but information packed lesson will give children uninterrupted time to practice and hone their skills in this area.  The goal is to get children to enjoy discussion based and comprehension activities.
