KS1 English: Reading Comprehension — Quick Burst is a fast-recall activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Years 1–2 reading comprehension. Built around one brand-new short story, “Ruby’s New Kite”, five short rounds drill quick reading skills: finding the key facts and characters, putting the sequence of events back in order, making simple inferences by working out why things happened, predicting what might happen next, and working out tricky vocabulary from the words around it. Every round is auto-marked on screen with a full answer key, or the whole book can be printed for a speedy reading challenge. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
