At our last `Focus on Reading' session Tracey mentioned some worthwhile resources to support comprehension. These have been added to our dropbox folder (go to English/Activities for responding to reading). Alternately you can download the resources by visiting TES connect (you will need to be a member to access).
Tracey also shared this site which has some great suggestions for quality read alouds and picture books (many of which we have in our library!).
