Notes

The student books and teaching resources in the Springboard into Comprehension series have been specifically designed to assist teachers to systematically teach the comprehension skills of identifying detail, main idea, sequencing, compare and contrast, fact and opinion, cause and effect, bias and prejudice, and figurative language. The teaching notes provide learning experiences to introduce and practise the comprehension strategies of monitoring comprehension, vocabulary, questioning, and using graphic organisers. These are used extensively throughout the series to assist students to synthesise information and clarify their understandings. The planned learning experiences in the series gradually move students from dependence on teacher support to the independent application of comprehension skills and strategies.
