In this 17-page resource, we have prepared 10 short, classic reading passages, each with 10 questions probing comprehension at different levels of abstraction, to help teachers and others working with students to model comprehension strategies.

Comprehension questions include simple “look back and find” facts in the text, as well as questions that require reorganisation of information, and abstract “why” and “how” questions requiring inferencing, prediction, retelling and other higher level language skills.
