The Hodgeheg - Session 3 - Reading Comprehension

In Session 3 of "The Hodgeheg" reading comprehension, students delve into the unexpected adventures of Max the hedgehog. The questions prompt students to consider details such as Max's surprise at the pelican crossing, his recognition of the park, and the unfortunate incident that leads to him being hit on the head. The session also explores familial dynamics, with Ma waking Pa and the subsequent alarm Pa feels upon hearing a voice from 5B. Students are asked to reflect on Max's good fortune despite his challenges and to interpret the meaning behind the phrase 'there's no point crying over spilt milk'. To consolidate their understanding, students are tasked with summarising the session in no more than 50 words, encouraging brevity and comprehension skills.

The comprehension questions are designed to test students' grasp of the text and their ability to infer and deduce information from the given scenarios. They are encouraged to think critically about the characters' actions and the outcomes, as well as to analyse idiomatic expressions within the context of the story. By engaging with these questions, students build on their reading comprehension skills, enhance their vocabulary, and develop a deeper understanding of narrative elements and character motivations within "The Hodgeheg".
