Book Detectives – Arabic, Bulgarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Spanish
These are translated tasks to support reading comprehension. If children are literate in first language they could read them to support their understanding of tasks.
Tip: To help learners understand the purpose for reading, set questions before reading the text to prevent decoding skills being solely used. Introduce question words gradually – Who? What? When? Where? Why? (Use Question Master – book detectives).
