Primary English: Fiction Reading Comprehension — Tutor Lesson Plan
Students answer from impression. Three steps fix it: skim for the skeleton, go back for evidence, answer in a full sentence.
Objectives — the student can skim for characters, place and event, point to the words that support each answer, and answer in a full sentence.
01 Prerequisites (3-minute check)
If any of these fails, fix it before the lesson starts.
| Skill | Quick check | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|
| Vocabulary | Read five common adjectives | Correct |
| Scanning | Circle the name in a paragraph | Correct |
| Full sentences | Turn “Because he was late.” into a full sentence | Subject and verb |
02 Lesson flow (45 minutes)
| Time | Stage | Tutor does | Student does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-8 min | Skim | Read only the first and last paragraphs | State the gist |
| 8-18 min | Detail questions | Go back for key words | Answer three and underline |
| 18-28 min | Inference | Why did he do that? | Find evidence first |
| 28-36 min | Answer form | Full sentences, quote a phrase | Rewrite two answers |
| 36-42 min | Fix errors | Board a one-word answer | Expand it |
| 42-45 min | Exit check | Three questions marked at once | Finish alone |
03 Teaching script (read it out)
Scene 1: Skim first
Read the first and last paragraph and find the names.
Ten seconds gives you who the story is about and what happens.
Ten seconds gives you who the story is about and what happens.
Student gives a one-sentence summary.
Scene 2: Every answer needs evidence
Why did Tom run? Because the text says he heard a scream.
Point at the words, then write the answer.
Point at the words, then write the answer.
Student underlines the evidence.
Scene 3: Answer in full sentences
“Because he was scared” is not enough when the question says full sentence.
Write: He ran because he was scared by the scream.
Write: He ran because he was scared by the scream.
Warn: a one-word answer scores zero when a sentence is required.
04 Question types and worked steps
| Type | Example | Steps | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detail | Where did Tom go? | Go back for the place | In the park. |
| Inference | Why did he run? | Evidence, then infer | Because he heard a scream. |
| Vocabulary | What does scream mean? | From context | A loud cry. |
| Main idea | What is the story about? | First and last paragraph | One sentence |
Sanity check (teach this): Every answer must be locatable in the text; if you cannot point at it, it came from memory.
05 Independent practice (3 questions)
| Question | Answer | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Where did Tom go? | By text | Go back to the text |
| Why did he run? | Because he heard a scream | Evidence given |
| What does scream mean? | A loud cry | From context |
06 Common mistakes and what to say
| Mistake | Student writes | Say this |
|---|---|---|
| One-word answers | Yes. / No. | Use a full sentence. |
| Answering from impression | never returns to the text | Underline the evidence. |
| Copying a whole paragraph | three lines copied | Quote one phrase. |
| Wrong tense in answers | present tense for a past story | Match the tense of the story. |
07 Homework (paper, section and question numbers)

08 Exit check (last 5 minutes)
| Question | Answer | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Which paragraphs to skim? | First and last | All right: move to writing |
| What supports an answer? | Words from the text | One wrong: re-teach evidence |
| What is a full sentence? | Subject and verb | Two wrong: repeat scene 1 |
09 Tutor FAQ
Pre-teach vocabulary?
Explain words in context; finding evidence matters more.
Students read slowly.
Practise skimming; do not require word-by-word understanding first.
May they copy?
One phrase, yes; a whole paragraph earns nothing.
