The KS2 Comprehension Book 1 is ideal for children who are new to written comprehension and includes:

• Simple contemporary texts with which they will readily identify
• Gripping tales that span the centuries from Aesop to Charles Kingsley and E. Nesbit to Dick King Smith
• Informative non-fiction reports covering diverse topics (for example the Viking history of York/the functions of different types of teeth/the life of Helen Keller)
• A charming playscript based on The Wizard of Oz
• Memorable poems (some of them funny) from well-loved writers such as Hilaire Belloc/Dylan Thomas/Wendy Cope/Wes Magee
