Check understanding

  • Compare how two authors develop similar themes using different narrative techniques
  • Identify similarities and differences between characters across books by the same author
  • Analyse how settings function differently in two texts from the same genre
“After reading a few books by the same author or in the same genre, can your child compare them — discussing what themes, styles, or character types the author tends to use?”
