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 id=\"G7E5HJ7\"\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.
