Comprehension 02
Get ready for the second KS2 English quiz on comprehension! Comprehension is like being a detective when you read – figuring out what the author is saying and feeling the story. Authors use tricks to keep readers curious about what happens next and what characters are thinking.
Good authors love surprises, so they don't tell everything at once. Skilled readers use inference (making smart guesses) and deduction (using facts to decide). When you write your own stories, remember these tricks to make them super exciting! Test your skills in this second Comprehension quiz and become a reading detective!
