The Basic Reading Skills series aims to help primary-aged children with reading and comprehension using short pieces of writing. Each page comprises a self-contained, one-page exercise, ensuring children only need to focus on one simple activity at a time. In today's world, most children probably read less than their parents or grandparents did at the same age. Distractions such as television and video games take up many hours that could be spent in reading. To excel in reading requires plenty of practice.

In this book your child will find:

• over 60 pages of reading exercises to help practise and develop reading and comprehension
• one-page activities with easy-to-follow questions
• a range of tasks covering different skills in reading
• practice in understanding texts, predicting words, working with anagrams and sorting words into groups
