Due to the huge popularity of Reading Box Blue, the authors decided to write Reading Box Red which follows a similar structure but is designed for upper primary students. Reading Box Red contains 150 carefully levelled cards with 20 self-marking questions, and a wide range of language and reading activities. These cards contain a range of different educational topics that are designed to align with NAPLAN testing for school years 4 and 5.

Varying skill levels

This product comes with a simple 9-minute levelling test for students to be assigned to their appropriate starting level. They can use different cards accordingly.

Targetted interest areas

The cards include animals, sports, and other interest areas of children to make learning literacy a familiar and engaging experience. In the classroom, students can practise the 3H strategy which divides questions into three types:

• HERE questions are obvious in the text i.e. literal
• HIDDEN questions can be drawn from one or more parts of the text
• HEAD questions require the reader to bring their own knowledge or understanding to the information given in the text

This is one of many ways students can use the Reading Box Blue. Students might want to practise questioning each other, or marking themselves independently, and teachers can use these cards as an exercise to follow class lessons.
