In this book, designed for Years 5 and 6, students are challenged to match deleted sentences with the correct gaps in a given passage. Texts are authored specifically to require students to use a range of higher-order comprehension skills, including identifying the main idea and making connections between ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn introductory chapter offers tips and tricks on how to approach the activities – for example, identifying topic sentences and patterns of text organisation, and understanding connectives and other details – before providing some practice questions with worked solutions. Students will then work through 30 cloze practice units across 3 themed chapters: Heroes and Villains, History and Animalia. Each chapter is designed to increase in difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContents\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroes and Villains\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeroes and villains in literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNick Kyrgios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAboriginal heroes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerry Fox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharles Ponzi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdna Adan and Catherine Hamlin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bandit Queen (Phoolan Devi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crime of the Century (The Great Train Robbery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNelson Mandela\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimalia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovid impact on animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeception in the animal kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe amazing Argentine ant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy fish are colourful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe guillemot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBees vs wasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremophiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtinct: Passenger Pigeons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Bears: Symbols of climate change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustralian dinosaurs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"21\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeathly customs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe King buried in a carpark: Richard III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Grand Inca Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat Conquerors of Asia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Warrior State: Sparta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor racing\/fast cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe first skyscraper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights, Camera, Action!
