Student Reading Comprehension Checklist

My Reading Comprehension Checklist is a simple, practical support tool for children aged 10+ who can read the words on the page but may struggle to hold onto meaning, know when to re-read, or work out exactly what a comprehension question is asking.

The 3-page checklist gives children a clear routine to follow before, during and after reading. It supports them to:

• identify the main idea and important information
• notice when meaning has been lost
• deal with unfamiliar vocabulary
• re-read strategically rather than starting the whole text again
• find evidence in the text
• approach inference questions
• check that they have actually answered what was asked

Designed to be kept beside a child while they work, it encourages independence without simplifying the content itself.

Suitable for home, school or tutoring.
