Welcome to the Comprehension Club that goes above and beyond the classroom!
The truth is comprehension is a key skill our children require in order to interact and engage with our world at large.
Yes, this programme will support their ability to answer comprehension questions in exam-style formats.
The bigger picture: This programme will make connections between your child's life and how we use these comprehension skills to interpret and engage effectively.
So, if you're tired of the moaning and groaning that greets you each time you try and encourage your child to sit read, then you're in luck! The Bettering Youth Comprehension Club will not only help your child to develop the 7 techniques that are fundamental to reading comprehension, but we will also teach them about media literacy, being social smart, and how to identify between real and fake news.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN OUR COMPREHENSION CLUB
This 6 week programme will cover all of the foundational skills and techniques required to increase comprehension while focusing on nonfiction writing.
The programme is delivered workshop style with students engaging via the chatbox or sharing ideas out loud to the group.

We will blend this academic knowledge with real-world applications to create a relevant and fun experience for your child.
