Guinness World Records: Record-Breaking Comprehension

One of the key problems that schools encounter when teaching reading comprehension, is getting pupils to engage with the texts.

Now Rising Stars have teamed up with Guinness World Records to produce Record-Breaking Comprehension – an exciting new series of reading comprehension books that harness the power of record-breaking stories to stimulate and engage pupils.

With full access to the Guinness World Records archive, Rising Stars have selected a range of the most fascinating, weird and wonderful world records to grab pupils’ attention and engage them in the record-breaking stories.

• Lively, imaginative texts - great for engaging your ‘switched-off’ boys
• Differentiated practice questions – support pupils in moving from literal interpretation to more complex meanings using inference and deduction
• Full range of teacher support material – including photocopiable activities
• Ideal for use in class or for homework - perfect ‘book bag’ size
