The 13-Storey Treehouse - Session 1 - Reading Comprehension
English Resource Description
In the first session of the reading comprehension focused on "The 13-Storey Treehouse", students are asked a series of questions to test their understanding of the text. They explore the whimsical world where the characters Andy and Terry reside, delving into the specifics of their unique living situation. Questions range from the practical uses of the vines in the treehouse to the location where one can find lemonade within this fantastical abode. Additionally, students are prompted to consider the reasons behind the characters' actions, such as why Andy yells 'no' when Terry drops the cat, and to identify curious details like what the pink flamingo is carrying.
The comprehension exercise also challenges students to condense their understanding of the session into a concise summary, using no more than 50 words. This activity not only checks their grasp of the key events and details from the session but also encourages them to practice their summarisation skills. By engaging with the text through these targeted questions, students enhance their reading comprehension abilities and their capacity to identify and articulate the main points of a narrative.
