Biodiversity In Danger

Flixies addresses two very important challenges in our Education System, namely, reading without comprehension and environmental issues. Seven critical Thinking Skills have been identified through which this series endeavours to teach reading comprehension in the intermediate phase.

The Teacher’s Guide includes:

• An explanation of the teaching strategy used
• An explanation of which comprehension strategy is used and which step of the teaching strategy should be applied in that specific book.
• Highlights in the text, with a side-panel modelling the teaching strategy and highlighting key points in the text for application.
• Key words are provided to display and use in the introductory discussion.
• Worksheets with comprehension activities based on the story are added to the end of the guide
