Hi Whitney, I was unable to open your attachment as well. Would really love to see what you have put together as I have parent interviews in 2 days and I would like to share this sort of thing. I actually feel a little lost at the moment with comprehension. I have a group of chn who read really well but their comprehension is almost non-existent. We have only just started our school year but I would like as much advice as possible to get on top of this problem. Thanks in advance for sharing! Karen Back
