Check understanding
- Compare how two novels treat a shared theme (e.g., growing up) using specific evidence from both
- Analyse how a modern retelling draws on and transforms elements from a traditional story or myth
- Compare conflicting accounts of the same event in two non-fiction texts and evaluate which is more convincing
“After reading texts from very different times or cultures, can your child compare them thoughtfully — noting not just surface similarities but deeper differences in values, style, and what the author assumed about their reader?”
