Comprehension Questions for 8 and 9 Year Olds
Picture Book Program for 8 & 9 Year Olds: Perfect for Home or School
Comprehension Questions for 8 & 9 Year Olds is a home or school resource designed to support oral language development in young children. From a young age, children should be verbal, actively engage in social interactions and understand simple, literal questions about their surroundings. By age 8 and 9, children further develop their focus on answering complex questions requiring prediction, interpretation and evaluation. This program, developed by speech pathologists, supports the development of these foundational comprehension skills using engaging picture books to ask age-appropriate questions and assess oral responses. Oral language skills are critical for social interaction and academic success. Program Includes: Picture Book Recommendations: List of developmentally appropriate Picture Book recommendations, such as 'The Gruffalo', 'The Giving Tree' and 'Diary of a Womat'. 33 Question Cards for Repeated Reading Sessions: Each card contains sample questions (over four days) and model answers based on each recommended picture book. Questions are focused on encouraging students to predict, to interpret and to evaluate, such as 'Why do you think…?' 'How do you think the girl would feel?' or 'Why do you like that one best?' Instruction Booklet: Guidance for presenting in group, class or home settings. Strategies for Success: Techniques for responding to inadequate answers. Progress Check: Two assessments to monitor comprehension skill development.

Connecting Oral and Written Language – Step 2
Connecting Oral & Written Language – Step 2 is an instructional material outlining how to teach 9 to 12 year olds to express themselves in a structured way
Although there are many types of genres, the most complex genre is narrative. The production of a narrative is more cognitively and linguistically demanding than participation in a conversation. Research repeatedly reports that narrative programs positively impact overall reading comprehension and written expression ability. Hence once skills are developed in this area, there is a flow on effect to all other forms of comprehension and written work. Within Connecting Oral and Written Language – Step 2 the initial oral stage is incredibly important. From a Speech Pathology perspective, oral expression ability is the precursor to written expression ability. Too often students are required to generate narratives before solid foundation skills are established. Remember students need to be provided with multiple opportunities to analyse and orally retell familiar narratives. In this way, they are rehearsing and practicing their oral language skills and simultaneously developing a solid understanding of narrative structure. Remember do not underestimate the value of the initial oral stages of narrative skills development. This program, designed by Speech Pathologists for 9 to 12 year olds features: Narrative tasks are presented in an order of ascending complexity (i.e. pre-narrative, oral narrative retells, written narrative retells and finally narrative generation). The manual outlines how to instruct 9 to 12 year olds narrative ability and recommends over 45 suitable picture books. The classroom pack includes explicit narrative structure cards and display posters The programs within the range include: Early Years Programs: Picture Book Retelling – Step 1 Developing News Telling and Narrative Skills for 4 Year Olds Foundation Programs: Picture Book Retelling – Step 2 Developing News Telling and Narrative Skills for 5 Year Olds Year 1 & 2 Program: Connecting Oral and Written Language – Step 1 Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 Program Connecting Oral and Written Language – Step 2
