The Big Book of Reading Comprehension Activities, Grade 1: 120 Activities for After-School and Summer Reading Fun

I bought it for my son after we moved to the UK when he was 6 yo so he could understand what he was learning at school. I found he hugely improved his reading skills where, for example, his teacher now says he will catch up with other students(of course this book is not the single factor but exert a big impact). It covers vocabulary they learn not only in reading class but also in science class. It also covers the differences between fiction and nonfiction, and different types of paragraphs(cause/effect, comparison, sequence...etc). Note it's written in American English. Great book. huge thanks to the author

Lovely book ..my 5 year old enjoyed it..good for concentrating on the minute details of the story..

Bought it because of lockdown. My son enjoy it.

With a FANTASTIC variety of stories/subjects this workbook is sure to keep your child interested. Have a reluctant reader? Sit beside them and help them with the more difficult words. Some of the activities require writing, some do not. The topics are very engaging and relevant. They are not all fictional. Visit space, learn about fossils, firefighters, baseball and so much more. Good sized font, one lesson per page and colorful. The skill being taught/practiced is listed at the bottom of each page. Answers are provided in the back if needed. I sincerely hope the author writes more books like this for older grades. Our kids would LOVE to do them! As for this book, it's heading to one of our grandchildren. I was provided a copy of this journal by the publisher. That has not influenced my review. Thanks, Liz

Good understanding and very nice organised.

Good Quality

Un libro muy bueno para la lecto escritura en inglés. Lo recomiendo. Me gustó mucho.

We have a lot of workbooks and this one is our favorite non-math workbook. Our 5 year old was working on some of the Brainquest books (he loves the summer ones cause they have stickers and a map :). But the reading comprehension activities for 2nd to 3rd grade were over his head (not surprisingly), and he usually struggled through the comprehension activities even in books 1st-2nd grade, although he can read quite well. This one is perfect. He can do the activities in a reasonable time, however what we like the most about these is that they build the skills and have great topics! They introduce kids to all sorts of awesome topics (history, science, health, arts, etc.) in a very age appropriate way, and they are not too long! It keeps his attention while he reads it out to us. He started working on these a year ago, and we have finished the 2nd grade book now. These books are great! We have the 3rd grade, and it looks good (but it's way too soon for him to do, although he wants it :0). What I like a lot is that It gets your child to think in a different way. It really challenges them to think more critically. I like that it is not all multiple choice (a lot of comprehension books have the same type of questions - usually multiple choice - over and over). These are more creative. I feel she really put in the effort and really thought through what the goal is for the child. They get progressively harder, but not impossible. My son enjoys these. The book is in color (which is not always the case!) and I think that helps to make it more engaging for children. It is also of high quality - nice paper quality and none of the pages fall out after every day use. I think these are great to use along with other books and workbooks. It will set your child on a great path being able to read and comprehend what they read. They will be able to express the important ideas and what they think about those ideas.

Fun activities for the kids, my son loved it

Acquistato per il mio bambino di 5 anni che ha finito year 1, non tutte le pagine riesce a farle da solo ma è conuqnue sempre adatto alle sue conoscenze.
